By maintaining funding for Naturalization services at $3,545,000 in fiscal year 2025 and 2026, we can continue to serve immigrants and refugees in our state. The Limited English Proficient (LEP) Pathways’ primary goal is to promote economic self-sufficiency for refugees and immigrants through job training, English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, work support, and social services. By maintaining funding for the LEP Pathways program at $1,774,000, we can better support low-income and limited English speaking immigrants. These program funding sources were cut during the 2008 financial crisis, causing immigrant communities to suffer disproportionately during that time of economic downturn. It is critical that we not repeat this mistake, especially during times of deep anxiety and uncertainty for immigrant communities. आप्रवासियों के लिए स्वास्थ्य समानता 2024 में शुरू होने वाले सभी वाशिंगटन वासियों (उनकी आप्रवास स्थिति की परवाह किए बिना) के लिए स्वास्थ्य कवरेज कार्यक्रम शुरू करने के लिए अनुपूरक बजट में $ 12.131 मिलियन आवंटित किए गए थे। No bill number yet Capital Projects आप्रवासियों के लिए स्वास्थ्य समानता 2024 में शुरू होने वाले सभी वाशिंगटन वासियों (उनकी आप्रवास स्थिति की परवाह किए बिना) के लिए स्वास्थ्य कवरेज कार्यक्रम शुरू करने के लिए अनुपूरक बजट में $ 12.131 मिलियन आवंटित किए गए थे। आप्रवासियों के लिए स्वास्थ्य समानता 2024 में शुरू होने वाले सभी वाशिंगटन वासियों (उनकी आप्रवास स्थिति की परवाह किए बिना) के लिए स्वास्थ्य कवरेज कार्यक्रम शुरू करने के लिए अनुपूरक बजट में $ 12.131 मिलियन आवंटित किए गए थे। आप्रवासियों के लिए स्वास्थ्य समानता 2024 में शुरू होने वाले सभी वाशिंगटन वासियों (उनकी आप्रवास स्थिति की परवाह किए बिना) के लिए स्वास्थ्य कवरेज कार्यक्रम शुरू करने के लिए अनुपूरक बजट में $ 12.131 मिलियन आवंटित किए गए थे। आप्रवासियों के लिए स्वास्थ्य समानता 2024 में शुरू होने वाले सभी वाशिंगटन वासियों (उनकी आप्रवास स्थिति की परवाह किए बिना) के लिए स्वास्थ्य कवरेज कार्यक्रम शुरू करने के लिए अनुपूरक बजट में $ 12.131 मिलियन आवंटित किए गए थे। आप्रवासियों के लिए स्वास्थ्य समानता 2024 में शुरू होने वाले सभी वाशिंगटन वासियों (उनकी आप्रवास स्थिति की परवाह किए बिना) के लिए स्वास्थ्य कवरेज कार्यक्रम शुरू करने के लिए अनुपूरक बजट में $ 12.131 मिलियन आवंटित किए गए थे। आप्रवासियों के लिए स्वास्थ्य समानता 2024 में शुरू होने वाले सभी वाशिंगटन वासियों (उनकी आप्रवास स्थिति की परवाह किए बिना) के लिए स्वास्थ्य कवरेज कार्यक्रम शुरू करने के लिए अनुपूरक बजट में $ 12.131 मिलियन आवंटित किए गए थे। आप्रवासियों के लिए स्वास्थ्य समानता 2024 में शुरू होने वाले सभी वाशिंगटन वासियों (उनकी आप्रवास स्थिति की परवाह किए बिना) के लिए स्वास्थ्य कवरेज कार्यक्रम शुरू करने के लिए अनुपूरक बजट में $ 12.131 मिलियन आवंटित किए गए थे। Solidarity Agenda Additional Policies We Support आप्रवासियों के लिए स्वास्थ्य समानता Status as of 2/27: Public hearing in the Senate Committee on Early Learning & K-12 Education at 8:00 AM (2/18) 2024 में शुरू होने वाले सभी वाशिंगटन वासियों (उनकी आप्रवास स्थिति की परवाह किए बिना) के लिए स्वास्थ्य कवरेज कार्यक्रम शुरू करने के लिए अनुपूरक बजट में $ 12.131 मिलियन आवंटित किए गए थे। SB 5574 Send a Comment to Your Legislators आप्रवासियों के लिए स्वास्थ्य समानता HB 1214 Status as of 2/27: Public hearing in the House Committee on Finance (2/4) SB 5768 Status as of 2/27: Executive action taken in the Senate Committee on Ways & Means, Majority; 1st substitute bill be substituted, do pass (2/27) 2024 में शुरू होने वाले सभी वाशिंगटन वासियों (उनकी आप्रवास स्थिति की परवाह किए बिना) के लिए स्वास्थ्य कवरेज कार्यक्रम शुरू करने के लिए अनुपूरक बजट में $ 12.131 मिलियन आवंटित किए गए थे। Send a Comment to Your Legislators HB 1214 Send a Comment to Your Legislators SB 5768 Sign up to Testify/Submit Written Testimony आप्रवासियों के लिए स्वास्थ्य समानता Status as of 2/27: Referred to Appropriations (2/12) 2024 में शुरू होने वाले सभी वाशिंगटन वासियों (उनकी आप्रवास स्थिति की परवाह किए बिना) के लिए स्वास्थ्य कवरेज कार्यक्रम शुरू करने के लिए अनुपूरक बजट में $ 12.131 मिलियन आवंटित किए गए थे। HB 1146 Send a Comment to Your Legislators आप्रवासियों के लिए स्वास्थ्य समानता Status as of 2/27: First reading, referred to Finance (1/15) 2024 में शुरू होने वाले सभी वाशिंगटन वासियों (उनकी आप्रवास स्थिति की परवाह किए बिना) के लिए स्वास्थ्य कवरेज कार्यक्रम शुरू करने के लिए अनुपूरक बजट में $ 12.131 मिलियन आवंटित किए गए थे। HB 1319 Send a Comment to Your Legislators आप्रवासियों के लिए स्वास्थ्य समानता Status as of 2/27: F irst reading, referred to Health Care & Wellness (1/28) 2024 में शुरू होने वाले सभी वाशिंगटन वासियों (उनकी आप्रवास स्थिति की परवाह किए बिना) के लिए स्वास्थ्य कवरेज कार्यक्रम शुरू करने के लिए अनुपूरक बजट में $ 12.131 मिलियन आवंटित किए गए थे। HB 1674 Send a Comment to Your Legislators आप्रवासियों के लिए स्वास्थ्य समानता 2024 में शुरू होने वाले सभी वाशिंगटन वासियों (उनकी आप्रवास स्थिति की परवाह किए बिना) के लिए स्वास्थ्य कवरेज कार्यक्रम शुरू करने के लिए अनुपूरक बजट में $ 12.131 मिलियन आवंटित किए गए थे। No bill number yet

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.

A Guide to Naturalization आप्रवासन न्याय वाशिंगटन राज्य में एएपीआई आप्रवासियों के लिए पूर्ण, सुरक्षित और स्वस्थ जीवन जीने के लिए, हमें सुरक्षित और सहायक संस्थानों और नीतियों की आवश्यकता है जो सभी व्यक्तियों की सेवा करती हैं, भले ही आप्रवासन स्थिति कुछ भी हो। यह महत्वपूर्ण क्यों है? 1996 के कल्याण सुधार अधिनियम के कारण, कई अप्रवासी अपने निवास के पहले पांच वर्षों के लिए सुरक्षा जाल कार्यक्रमों के लिए पात्र नहीं हैं, और सार्वजनिक शुल्क के डर ने अधिक अप्रवासियों को सेवाओं तक पहुँचने से हतोत्साहित किया है। वाशिंगटन राज्य में रहने वाले 800,000 से अधिक AAPI में से लगभग आधे विदेशी मूल के हैं। इसमें लगभग 60,000 गैर-दस्तावेज एएपीआई शामिल हैं ( देश भर में लगभग 1.7 मिलियन गैर-दस्तावेज एएपीआई हैं) । वाशिंगटन में 73% एशियाई अमेरिकी घर पर अंग्रेजी के अलावा अन्य भाषा बोलते हैं, और उनमें से 44% से अधिक अंग्रेजी "बहुत अच्छी तरह से" से कम बोलते हैं। वाशिंगटन में लगभग 60,707 एशियाई अमेरिकी (10%) गरीबी में रहते हैं और वाशिंगटन में लगभग 7,951 एनएचपीआई (17%) गरीबी में रहते हैं, जो सार्वजनिक सहायता की आवश्यकता को दर्शाता है। मुख्यधारा के आख्यानों के विपरीत, एएपीआई समूहों के बीच उच्च स्तर की सामाजिक-आर्थिक, जातीय और भाषाई/सांस्कृतिक विविधता है। उदाहरण के लिए, भारतीय परिवारों की औसत आय $115,105 है, जबकि हमोंग परिवारों की औसत आय $53,717 है। इसके लिए, एपीआईसी मुफ्त/कम कानूनी सहायता तक आपकी पहुंच का समर्थन करता है, और निम्नलिखित नीति अनुशंसाओं की वकालत करता है: एलईपी पाथवे का विस्तार करें: एलईपी फंडिंग नौकरी प्रशिक्षण कार्यक्रमों, ईएसएल कक्षाओं और कार्य समर्थन के माध्यम से शरणार्थियों और आप्रवासियों के लिए आर्थिक आत्मनिर्भरता को बढ़ावा देती है जो नौकरी के अवसरों और प्राकृतिककरण के लिए एक ठोस आधार प्रदान करती है। एलईपी स्वास्थ्य और सामाजिक सेवाओं की मांग करने वाले वरिष्ठ नागरिकों तक भी पहुंच प्रदान करता है। मंदी के बाद LEP पाथवे फंडिंग में कटौती की गई थी और तब से इसे मूल राशि में बहाल नहीं किया गया है। प्राकृतिककरण सेवाओं के लिए धन में वृद्धि: वाशिंगटन राज्य का प्राकृतिककरण कार्यक्रम शरणार्थियों और अप्रवासियों को नागरिक बनने में मदद करता है, नागरिकता आवेदन, अंग्रेजी और नागरिक शास्त्र कक्षाओं, और साक्षात्कार की तैयारी के साथ सहायता के माध्यम से। बुजुर्ग और विकलांग शरणार्थी और अप्रवासी प्राकृतिककरण कार्यक्रम के प्राथमिक प्राप्तकर्ता हैं। कानूनी रक्षा कोष के लिए धन आवंटित करें: कानून के तहत, अप्रवासियों को एक वकील तक पहुंच की गारंटी नहीं है और अक्सर कानूनी प्रतिनिधित्व के बिना खुद को आव्रजन अदालत में पाते हैं। यह फंड अप्रवासियों को उनके समुदाय में रहने के लिए आवश्यक उचित संसाधन और उपकरण प्रदान करने के लिए आवश्यक है, भले ही वे एक वकील का खर्च उठा सकते हों। बेरोजगारी लाभ के लिए पात्रता का विस्तार करें: इतिहास में सबसे बड़े आर्थिक संकटों में से एक के साथ, अनिर्दिष्ट श्रमिक बेरोजगारी बीमा तक पहुंच के योग्य हैं। सभी अप्रवासियों का समर्थन करने और उनका उत्थान करने के लिए सभी को बेरोजगारी लाभ देना आवश्यक है। गैर-दस्तावेज वाले अप्रवासियों की रक्षा करें: कीप वाशिंगटन वर्किंग एंड कोर्ट्स ओपन फॉर ऑल के पारित होने के साथ, हमारी राज्य सरकार को गैर-दस्तावेज वाशिंगटनियों की सुरक्षा को प्राथमिकता देना जारी रखना चाहिए और संघीय आव्रजन प्रवर्तन एजेंसियों की शक्ति और कार्यों को कम करना चाहिए। इसमें सरकारी एजेंसियों और आप्रवासन प्रवर्तन एजेंसियों के बीच किसी भी अनुचित सहयोग को समाप्त करना, गवर्नर क्षमा की शक्ति और आवृत्ति में वृद्धि करना, और लाभकारी निरोध केंद्रों को समाप्त करना शामिल है।
