View DFI Financial Resources View Thurston County Resources View Pierce County Resources Office of Financial Management Population Report: Washington State's Immigrant Population 2010-2021 by Wei Yen, Ph.D. Immigrant population has increased by 29% in Washington during 2010-21, with a larger increase in the immigrant group of naturalized citizens (37%). In 2021, the total immigrant population was 1,149,000. Shares of females in each immigrant population group remained about the same across the years, although the shares varied among the groups, between 40% and 60%. While the share of adults 18-64 declined in the U.S.-born citizen group to 58%, it remained the same in the immigrant groups (around 75% for naturalized citizen group and legal immigrant group, and 90% for the undocumented immigrant group). The share of individuals with Hispanic origin had a gradual but steady increase in the U.S.-born citizen group (8% to 12%). However, the undocumented immigrant group share declined from 54% to 39%. The shares of non-Hispanic white population declined in the U.S.-born citizen group (80% to 72%)3 and the legal immigrant group (32% to 23%). The shares of non-Hispanic Asians or Pacific Islanders increased in the legal Office of Financial Management 2 immigrant group (27% to 36%) and the undocumented immigrant group (27% to 43%). In the adult population age 18-64, all groups except the legal immigrant group had increased shares with a 4-year college degree or higher. The undocumented immigrant group had the largest change (22% to 47%). For all groups, shares of adults 18-64 who were employed increased to the highest point in 2019 (above 70%) and then declined in 2021. Shares of adults 18-64 in low-income families (less than 200% of the federal poverty level) declined in all groups, particularly in the undocumented immigrant group in which the share dropped by half (56% to 28%).

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.

Medicaid has provided vital health care to over 80 million Americans, including children, seniors, people with disabilities, and many within our AANHPI communities. In Washington State alone, nearly 2 million people rely on Apple Health (the state's Medicaid program). On July 4th, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed, cutting almost $1 trillion from Medicaid. The Bill also curtails provider taxes, meaning states have to make a difficult choice: make cuts to other services (such as education) or raise taxes, or make even deeper cuts to Medicaid. Governor Ferguson's office estimates at least 250,000 Washingtonians will lose Medicaid Coverage . Read the Health Care Authority report below for more information.

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. Pew Research: When surveying small populations, some approaches are more inclusive than others Survey researchers increasingly recognize that a single survey of the general public can rarely represent the views of small groups of Americans. Such surveys frequently have too few interviews with certain populations – such as smaller religious or racial or ethnic groups – for those voices to be heard.

After recognizing the need for a collective voice advocating for the rights and equity of foreign-born Asian and Pacific Islanders (API), APIC began lobbying for the Washington State legislature to address the gap created by federal legislation. Building off this legacy, every year APIC Chapters from King, Pierce, Snohomish, Yakima, and Spokane counties and South Puget Sound bring together immigrants, refugees, and citizens from Washington state to meet with the Governor, State Representatives, and State Senators to advocate for the issues most impactful to our communities. Recognizing the need for a collective voice advocating for the rights and equity of foreign-born Asian and Pacific Islanders, APIC formed to voice our opinions the Washington State legislature to address the gap created by federal and state legislation APIC championed the passage of legislation that created a state supported safety net.
