In other cases the abuser has forbidden the abused woman from getting educational or employment skills that would make her selfsufficient. These are some of the many reasons battered women may rely on transitional public assistance as they flee. Giving battered women a longer time on assistance before they are considered a public charge. and therefore deportable. is another way of giving abused women and their children a better chance at improving their circumstances. The third amendment accepted by the Managers relates to a practice known as deeming. whereby the income of an immigrants sponsor is attributed to the immigrant for the purposes of determining the immigrants eligibility for public assistance. For example. an immigrant woman is sponsored by her U.S. citizen husband who signs an affidavit that he will support her. He earns $30.000 a year. That woman is deemed to have access to $30.000 a year. even If he is not supporting her in reality.
