This bill aims to restrict the use of public assistance funds by prohibiting individuals receiving such aid from making international wire transfers . The legislation specifies that money cannot be transferred from the United States to a person or entity outside the country by means of an international wire transfer if the sender is a public assistance recipient. To enforce this, the bill requires all international wire transfer providers to obtain written notification from individuals about their public assistance status before rendering services. Public assistance is broadly defined as any payment or benefit received from a means-tested welfare or public assistance program .
