My son is not a citizen of the U.S. If he uses All Kids, will it keep him from becoming a permanent resident because he will be a public charge?

All Kids health insurance will not affect your child's immigration status as long as your child does not receive long term care in a nursing home or mental health facility. For more information about public charge, see Questions and Answers about Immigration and Public Charge in HFS 3863.

If undocumented children apply for All Kids, will you report them to the United States government?

No. We will only check the immigration status of children who are not citizens if they give us their Alien Registration Numbers.

My son was born in the United States. Why does the All Kids application ask for proof that he is a citizen?

Illinois has to ask all citizens for proof because of a federal law.
