The House voted to block illegal immigrants from receiving health care tax credits.

On Tuesday, lawmakers passed legislation that makes sure illegals cannot get these credits.

It was 238-to-184 vote, mostly a vote along party lines.

It requires the Treasury Department to confirm citizenship or legal residency before giving tax credits.

The most common way to determine legal status is through social security numbers.

Proponents of the bill say it is all about being good stewards of the money taxpayers send to Washington.
