Compact Impact Fairness Act of 2020

This bill eliminates residency requirements for a citizen of the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, or Palau to be eligible to receive certain federal public benefits. (A citizen of one of these countries may stay and work in the United States as a nonresident alien without a visa. But as a nonresident alien, that individual is ineligible for most federal public benefits under current law.)
