No. Assistance from this fund is considered disaster relief assistance and should not be considered under the public charge rule. Receiving assistance from the fund should not impact your ability to obtain a green card or citizenship in the future. Will I have to pay this money back? Will it affect my taxes? No, the money is FREE. It is not a loan. All payments are classified as disaster relief under the IRS and should not be included as taxable income. When will I get the money? If your application is approved, you will receive at least $1,000 through a check or prepaid card between December 2022 and January 2023. Who is eligible for the WA COVID-19 Immigrant Relief Fund? According to the WA State Refugee Coordinator at the Department of Social and Health Services, the WA COVID-19 Immigrant relief fund is a program that is intended to serve immigrants in Washington State who did not receive the federal stimulus fund and/or are not eligible to apply to the unemployment program because of their immigration status. Refugees, people granted asylum, COFA Migrants, DACA recipients, and other people who have legal authorization to work in the United States are not eligible for the WA COVID-19 Immigrant Relief Fund. Having the ability to work legally in the United States means that their immigration status would not prohibit them from applying for unemployment. Afghans and Ukrainians that have been granted access to refugee assistance and public benefits programs are not eligible for the WA COVID-19 Immigrant Relief Fund. Is my information protected? The application is run by a private company called LiveStories, not the government. They will never voluntarily share your personal information with the government, ICE, police, your landlord, your employer, or anyone else. All information is stored securely in an encrypted format so it can’t be accessed by anyone. What is the history behind the WA COVID-19 Relief Fund? Washington COVID-19 Immigrant Relief Fund - previous rounds There have been several rounds of the fund from 2020 until now. “WIRF 1” (late 2020): This was the first round of funding ($40 million). In this round, over 94,000 people applied, and 40,000 of the highest need applicants were approved for funding of $1,000 each. “WIRF 2” (early 2021): An extra $22.6 million that was added to provide funding of $1,000 each to people who had already applied to WIRF 1 and met eligibility criteria, but had not received funding. “WIRF 3” (mid-2021): This was another round of funding ($65 million). In this round, a new application opened in April-May 2021. Recipients got $1,000 each, and the money was sent in summer of 2021. The application period had to close earlier than expected, because of the large volume of applications. “WIRF 340” (current fund): This round of funding is for $340 million. This time, there should be enough money for most or all eligible applicants to receive money. All approved applicants will get at least $1,000, and the final amount will depend on how many people apply. How is the fund run? The fund is managed by immigrant-led community organizations across Washington State—the same people who advocated for the fund to be created. All of the organizations involved in the fund have worked for years with immigrant communities, including underserved farmworkers, low-wage workers, and immigrants who are Black, Indigenous, LGBTQIA2+, living with disabilities, and many others. Many of them are immigrant-led and they are all committed to the well-being and privacy of immigrant communities. You can see the list of community organizations at immigrantreliefwa.org/gethelp. These organizations are partnering with the Governor’s Office, the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, and an application company called LiveStories to create this fund. While the Washington State government is providing the money and oversight, they do not handle any personal information. What is LiveStories? LiveStories is an organization that built the application platform called Forward. They review the applications, and work with payment providers to send out money. They hold all personal information in a secure, encrypted format, and will never voluntarily share personal information with the government.

Nos objectifs de politique Cette année, l'APIC estime que les programmes politiques suivants feront partie intégrante de l'amélioration de la vie des communautés API dans l'État de Washington : Maintenir le financement de LEP Pathways L'objectif principal du programme Limited English Proficient (LEP) Pathways est de promouvoir l'autonomie économique des réfugiés et des immigrants par le biais d'une formation professionnelle, de cours d'anglais langue seconde (ALS), d'un soutien au travail et de services sociaux. En maintenant le financement du programme LEP Pathways, nous pouvons mieux soutenir les immigrants anglophones à faible revenu et limités. Maintenir le financement des services de naturalisation Les services de naturalisation aident les réfugiés et les immigrants, principalement les personnes handicapées et âgées, à obtenir la citoyenneté grâce à une aide pour remplir la demande de naturalisation USCIS N-400 et les demandes d'exemption de frais, des cours d'histoire et d'éducation civique américaines et la préparation des entretiens. En maintenant le financement des services de naturalisation, nous pouvons mieux servir les immigrants et les réfugiés dans notre État. Assurer et maintenir la couverture santé et dentaire COFA Le programme médical COFA de l'État de Washington fournit des soins de santé et dentaires essentiels aux citoyens COFA qui ont été exclus de l'accès aux prestations de santé fédérales. Alors que le Congrès a récemment adopté une loi pour rétablir l'éligibilité à Medicaid pour les migrants COFA, l'État de Washington doit s'assurer que la couverture est fournie jusqu'à ce que la mise en œuvre culturelle et linguistique soit terminée. Aider les travailleurs sans papiers de Washington Les Washingtoniens sans papiers qui ont été exclus des allocations de chômage existantes et des plans de relance fédéraux ont été particulièrement touchés pendant la pandémie de COVID-19. Que ce soit par le biais d'un programme d'urgence temporaire qui élargit l'admissibilité au chômage ou d'un financement plus important par le biais du fonds Washington Immigrant Relief, tous les travailleurs méritent une aide, quel que soit leur statut d'immigration. Adopter un remboursement de récupération , une version mise à jour du crédit d'impôt pour les familles de travailleurs Une remise de relance remettrait de l'argent dans les poches des personnes à faible revenu, y compris les travailleurs immigrés qui ont été injustement exclus d'autres avantages fiscaux fédéraux. Une relance en espèces ciblée sur les ménages à faible revenu garantirait également que les avantages sont dirigés vers les ménages les plus touchés par le code fiscal régressif de Washington. ​ En plus de nos priorités législatives, l'APIC a toujours relevé le besoin d'investissement dans notre communauté par le biais de projets d'immobilisations. Cette année, nous sollicitons un soutien pour les projets d'immobilisations suivants : Centre culturel Asie-Pacifique Centre Culturel des Communautés Unies du Laos AIPACE ​ Nous mettrons à jour ce site plus tard avec des liens pour faire un don. Priorités politiques de l'APIC Découvrez la position de l'APIC sur la réforme de l'immigration, le plaidoyer LGBTQ+, la réforme de l'éducation et les mesures COVID-19.

Pour une référence juridique ou une assistance, veuillez consulter https://www.lawhelp.org/ Justice de l'immigration Pour que les immigrants AAPI dans l'État de Washington vivent pleinement, en sécurité et en bonne santé, nous avons besoin d'institutions et de politiques sûres et favorables qui servent tous les individus, quel que soit leur statut d'immigration. Pourquoi est-ce important? En raison de la loi de 1996 sur la réforme de la protection sociale, de nombreux immigrants ne sont pas éligibles aux programmes de filet de sécurité pendant les cinq premières années de leur résidence, et les craintes concernant les charges publiques ont découragé davantage d'immigrants d'accéder aux services. Sur les plus de 800 000 AAPI vivant dans l'État de Washington, environ la moitié sont nés à l'étranger. Cela comprend environ 60 000 AAPI sans papiers (il y a environ 1,7 million d'AAPI sans papiers dans tout le pays) . 73% des Américains d'origine asiatique à Washington parlent une langue autre que l'anglais à la maison, et parmi ceux-ci, plus de 44% parlent moins que "très bien" l'anglais. Environ 60 707 Américains d'origine asiatique à Washington (10 %) vivent dans la pauvreté et environ 7 951 NHPI à Washington (17 %) vivent dans la pauvreté, ce qui signifie qu'ils ont besoin d'aide publique. Contrairement aux récits traditionnels, il existe un niveau élevé de diversité socioéconomique, ethnique et linguistique/culturelle parmi les groupes AAPI. Par exemple, le revenu médian des ménages indiens est de 115 105 $, tandis que le revenu médian des ménages Hmong est de 53 717 $. À cette fin, l'APIC soutient votre accès à une aide juridique gratuite/réduite et préconise les recommandations politiques suivantes : Développer les parcours LEP : le financement du LEP favorise l'autonomie économique des réfugiés et des immigrants par le biais de programmes de formation professionnelle, de cours d'anglais langue seconde et d'un soutien au travail qui fournit une base solide pour les opportunités d'emploi et la naturalisation. Le LEP donne également accès aux personnes âgées à la recherche de services de santé et de services sociaux. Le financement de LEP Pathways a été réduit après la récession et n'a pas été rétabli depuis au montant initial. Augmenter le financement des services de naturalisation : le programme de naturalisation de l'État de Washington aide les réfugiés et les immigrants à devenir citoyens, grâce à une assistance pour la demande de citoyenneté, des cours d'anglais et d'éducation civique et la préparation des entretiens. Les réfugiés et les immigrants âgés et handicapés sont les principaux bénéficiaires du programme de naturalisation. Allouer des fonds au Fonds de défense juridique : En vertu de la loi, les immigrés n'ont pas la garantie d'avoir accès à un avocat et se retrouvent souvent devant un tribunal de l'immigration sans représentation légale. Ce fonds est nécessaire pour fournir aux immigrants les ressources et les outils dont ils ont besoin pour rester dans leur communauté, qu'ils puissent ou non se payer un avocat. Élargir l'admissibilité aux allocations de chômage : avec l'une des plus grandes crises économiques de l'histoire qui se profile, les travailleurs sans papiers méritent tout autant d'avoir accès à l'assurance-chômage. L'extension des allocations de chômage à tous est nécessaire pour soutenir et élever tous les immigrants. Protéger les immigrants sans papiers : avec l'adoption de Keep Washington Working and Courts Open to All, notre gouvernement d'État devrait continuer à donner la priorité à la sécurité des Washingtoniens sans papiers et à minimiser le pouvoir et les actions des agences fédérales d'application de la loi sur l'immigration. Cela inclut de continuer à mettre fin à toute collaboration inappropriée entre les agences gouvernementales et les agences d'application de la loi sur l'immigration, d'augmenter le pouvoir et la fréquence des grâces du gouverneur et de mettre fin aux centres de détention à but lucratif.
