Quote

 What public assistance programs does USCIS not consider?

A: Generally, we do not consider noncash benefits in making public charge determinations. The only noncash benefit we consider is long-term institutionalization at government expense. We also do not consider special-purpose cash assistance that is not intended for income maintenance.

For example, USCIS does not consider any of the following public benefits when making a public charge determination:

Nutrition programs

• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or other nutrition programs
• Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
• School lunch and school breakfast programs
• Benefits under the Emergency Food Assistance Act (TEFAP)
• Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)
• Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR)

For getting the I-864 approved?

 

Or are you asking if USCIS may sue the petitioner to reimburse the public benefits that the beneficiary acquired?

 

EDIT:  From your other topics, it looks like your wife needs to submit the I-864 for her parents.  The decision depends on your household income and ability to maintain that income.
