Kaplan, et al v. Chertoff: Resources About SSI Settlement

This class action lawsuit was filed on December 6, 2006, to challenge alleged delays by the government in adjudicating applications for adjustment of status (Form I-485) and naturalization (Form N-400) for those who are receiving or have received SSI benefits and the resulting actual or potential cut-off of Supplemental Security Insurance benefits. The parties have reached a settlement that the Court has approved.

The following resources about the settlement are attached: 

  • The text of the final settlement agreement;
  • A notice of the settlement agreement for all non-citizens who have received Supplemental Security Insurance; and
  • A USCIS memorandum offering field guidance on processing the I-485 and N-400 forms following the settlement.
