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?

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.

우리의 정책 목표 올해 APIC는 다음 정책 의제가 워싱턴주 API 커뮤니티의 삶을 개선하는 데 필수적이라고 믿습니다. LEP Pathways 자금 유지 LEP(Limited English Proficient) Pathways의 주요 목표는 직업 훈련, ESL(English as a Second Language) 수업, 업무 지원 및 사회 서비스를 통해 난민과 이민자의 경제적 자립을 촉진하는 것입니다. LEP Pathways 프로그램을 위한 자금을 유지함으로써 저소득층과 영어를 구사하지 못하는 이민자를 더 잘 지원할 수 있습니다. 귀화 서비스를 위한 자금 유지 귀화 서비스는 주로 장애가 있거나 노인인 난민과 이민자가 USCIS N-400 귀화 신청서 및 수수료 면제 요청, 미국 역사 및 공민학 수업, 인터뷰 준비를 완료하는 데 도움을 주어 시민권을 취득하도록 돕습니다. 귀화 서비스를 위한 자금을 유지함으로써 우리 주의 이민자와 난민에게 더 나은 서비스를 제공할 수 있습니다. COFA 의료 및 치과 보험 보장 및 유지 워싱턴주 COFA 의료 프로그램은 연방 의료 혜택을 받을 수 없는 COFA 시민에게 필수적인 건강 및 치과 치료를 제공합니다. 의회가 최근 COFA 이민자에 대한 Medicaid 자격을 복원하는 법안을 통과시켰지만 워싱턴 주는 문화 및 언어 구현이 완료될 때까지 보장이 제공되도록 해야 합니다. 워싱턴의 서류미비 노동자들에게 구호 제공 기존 실업 수당과 연방 경기 부양 패키지에서 제외되었던 서류미비 워싱턴 주민들은 COVID-19 전염병 동안 특히 큰 타격을 받았습니다. 실업 자격을 확대하는 임시 비상 프로그램을 통해서든 워싱턴 이민자 구호 기금을 통한 보다 광범위한 자금을 통해서든 모든 근로자는 이민 신분에 관계없이 구호를 받을 자격이 있습니다. 근로 가족 세금 공제의 업데이트된 버전인 복구 리베이트 제정 Recovery Rebate는 다른 연방 세금 혜택에서 부당하게 배제된 이민자 노동자를 포함하여 저소득층의 주머니에 현금을 돌려줄 것입니다. 저소득 가구를 대상으로 하는 현금 부양책은 또한 워싱턴의 역진 세금 코드로 인해 가장 큰 피해를 입은 가구에 혜택이 전달되도록 할 것입니다. 또한, APIC는 입법 우선 순위와 더불어 자본 프로젝트를 통해 지역 사회에 대한 투자의 필요성을 항상 제기했습니다. 올해 우리는 다음 자본 프로젝트에 대한 지원을 요청합니다. 아시아 태평양 문화 센터 라오스 문화 센터 연합 공동체 AIPACE 나중에 이 사이트를 기부 링크로 업데이트할 것입니다.

우리의 미션 아시아 태평양 섬 주민 연합(APIC)은 흑인, 브라운 및 원주민 커뮤니티와 연대하여 모든 아시아인 및 태평양 섬 주민을 위한 인종 및 경제 정의에 전념하는 커뮤니티 조직의 주 전체 네트워크입니다. 아시아 태평양 섬 주민 연합(APIC)은 1996년 복지 개혁법이 공공 지원 프로그램에 대한 비시민 연방 자격에 상당한 영향을 미치고 감소시킨 후 만들어졌습니다. APIC는 외국 태생의 아시아 태평양 섬 주민(API)의 권리와 형평성을 옹호하는 집단적 목소리의 필요성을 인식한 후 워싱턴 주 의회가 연방법에 의해 생성된 격차를 해소하도록 로비하기 시작했습니다. 이러한 유산을 바탕으로 매년 King, Pierce, Snohomish, Yakima 및 Spokane 카운티와 South Puget Sound의 APIC 챕터는 워싱턴 주의 이민자, 난민, 시민을 모아 주지사, 주 하원의원 및 주 상원의원을 만나 옹호합니다. 커뮤니티에 가장 영향을 미치는 문제에 대해 공동의장 린 크롤리 lincrowley@gmail.com 브라이언 로크 brian_locke@comcast.net
