Ameliorarea COVID-19 WA Health Plan Expansion for DACA Recipients People with certain immigration statuses now qualify for more savings Due to a recent federal change , Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients and other people with qualifying immigration statuses can now access increased federal savings through Washington HealthplanfinderTM as of Nov. 1, 2024. These savings significantly lower costs for most — many customers can find a health plan for less than $10 per month. Who qualifies? Immigration statuses include: DACA recipients Valid nonimmigrant visa-holders People with a pending application for adjustment of status People granted employment authorization Family Unity Program beneficiaries Special Immigrant Juveniles with approved petitions Certain asylum applicants under age 14 How can someone get their new savings? Any household member affected by the recent change needs to select “Yes” to the question, “Is this household member lawfully present in the U.S.?” in their Washington Healthplanfinder application. Those who may be affected (current customers and people who recently applied to Washington Healthplanfinder) were notified of the change in their preferred language. Assisters are also reaching out to people with qualified statuses who they previously helped.

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.

View DFI Financial Resources View Thurston County Resources View Pierce County Resources Health News Updates 1. Devastating impacts to Medicaid. Kaiser Family Foundation estimates Washington will lose at least $3 billion per year in federal Medicaid dollars each year for the next 10 years. 250,000 Washingtonians will lose Medicaid coverage & to be priced out of the state’s health care exchange. The bill has several provisions directly targeting refugees and other humanitarian entrants, with most groups cut off from Medicaid, Medicare, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Affordable Care Act access starting next year. Read more here. The graphic on the right showcases these statistics and how they will impact children in WA State. 2. All Washingtonians on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will see benefits reduced. 1 million Washingtonians who receive assistance from SNAP will see their benefits reduced under the bill and more than 130,000 Washingtonians could lose benefits. 3. Clean energy investments at risk. The bill passed out of Congress puts at least $8.7 billion in Washington’s clean energy investments at risk. The U.S. Climate Alliance estimates the bill’s removal of wind and solar energy tax credits will raise Washington households’ electricity costs by $115 per year by 2029.

Citizenship Class Citizenship Class Schedule Citizenship Class 1/2 Citizenship Class Registration Justiția pentru imigrare Pentru ca imigranții AAPI din statul Washington să trăiască o viață plină, în siguranță și sănătoasă, avem nevoie de instituții și politici sigure și de susținere care să servească tuturor persoanelor, indiferent de statutul de imigrare. De ce este acest lucru important? Din cauza Legii de reformă a bunăstării din 1996, mulți imigranți nu sunt eligibili pentru programele de plasă de siguranță în primii cinci ani de rezidență, iar temerile legate de sarcina publică au descurajat mai mulți imigranți să acceseze servicii. Din cei peste 800.000 de AAPI care trăiesc în statul Washington, aproximativ jumătate sunt născuți în străinătate. Aceasta include aproximativ 60.000 de AAPI nedocumentate (există aproximativ 1,7 milioane de AAPI nedocumentate la nivel național) . 73% dintre asiaticii americani din Washington vorbesc o altă limbă decât engleza acasă, iar dintre aceștia, mai mult de 44% vorbesc engleza mai puțin decât „foarte bine”. Aproximativ 60.707 de asiatici americani din Washington (10%) trăiesc în sărăcie și aproximativ 7.951 de NHPI din Washington (17%) trăiesc în sărăcie, ceea ce înseamnă nevoia de asistență publică. Spre deosebire de narațiunile curente, există un nivel ridicat de diversitate socioeconomică, etnică și lingvistică/culturală în rândul grupurilor AAPI. De exemplu, venitul mediu pentru gospodăriile indiene este de 115.105 USD, în timp ce venitul mediu pentru gospodăriile Hmong este de 53.717 USD. În acest scop, APIC vă sprijină accesul la asistență juridică gratuită/ redusă și susține următoarele recomandări de politică: Extindeți căile LEP: finanțarea LEP promovează autosuficiența economică pentru refugiați și imigranți prin programe de formare profesională, cursuri de ESL și sprijin pentru muncă, care oferă o bază solidă pentru oportunități de angajare și naturalizare. LEP oferă, de asemenea, acces persoanelor în vârstă care caută servicii de sănătate și sociale. Finanțarea LEP Pathways a fost redusă după recesiune și de atunci nu a fost restabilită la valoarea inițială. Creșterea finanțării pentru serviciile de naturalizare: programul de naturalizare al statului Washington îi ajută pe refugiați și imigranți să devină cetățeni, prin asistență cu cererea de cetățenie, cursuri de engleză și civică și pregătire pentru interviuri. Refugiații și imigranții vârstnici și cu dizabilități sunt primii beneficiari ai programului de naturalizare. Alocați fonduri Fondului de Apărare Legală: Conform legii, imigranților nu li se garantează accesul la un avocat și deseori se găsesc în instanța de imigrare fără reprezentare legală. Acest fond este necesar pentru a oferi imigranților resursele și instrumentele adecvate de care au nevoie pentru a rămâne în comunitatea lor, indiferent dacă își pot permite un avocat. Extindeți eligibilitatea pentru prestații de șomaj: Cu una dintre cele mai mari crize economice din istorie care se profilează, lucrătorii fără acte merită la fel de acces la asigurarea de șomaj. Extinderea indemnizațiilor de șomaj la toți este necesară pentru a sprijini și înălța toți imigranții. Protejați imigranții fără documente: Odată cu aprobarea „Păstrați Washingtonul în muncă și instanțele deschise pentru toți”, guvernul nostru ar trebui să continue să acorde prioritate siguranței cetățenilor fără acte din Washington și să minimizeze puterea și acțiunile agențiilor federale de aplicare a legii în domeniul imigrației. Aceasta include continuarea încetării oricărei colaborări inadecvate între agențiile guvernamentale și agențiile de aplicare a legii în domeniul imigrației, creșterea puterii și frecvenței grațierilor guvernamentale și încheierea centrelor de detenție cu scop lucrativ.

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%.

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.
