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.

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.

I nostri obiettivi politici Quest'anno l'APIC ritiene che le seguenti agende politiche saranno parte integrante del miglioramento della vita delle comunità API nello Stato di Washington: Mantenere i finanziamenti per i percorsi LEP L'obiettivo principale di The Limited English Proficient Pathways (LEP) Pathways è promuovere l'autosufficienza economica per rifugiati e immigrati attraverso la formazione professionale, corsi di inglese come seconda lingua (ESL), supporto lavorativo e servizi sociali. Mantenendo i finanziamenti per il programma LEP Pathways, possiamo sostenere meglio gli immigrati a basso reddito e di lingua inglese limitata. Mantenere i finanziamenti per i servizi di naturalizzazione I servizi di naturalizzazione aiutano i rifugiati e gli immigrati, principalmente coloro che sono disabili e anziani, a ottenere la cittadinanza attraverso l'assistenza nel completamento della domanda di naturalizzazione USCIS N-400 e le richieste di esenzione dalla tassa, lezioni di storia e educazione civica americana e preparazione del colloquio. Mantenendo i finanziamenti per i servizi di naturalizzazione possiamo servire meglio immigrati e rifugiati nel nostro stato. Garantire e mantenere la copertura sanitaria e dentale COFA Il programma medico COFA dello Stato di Washington fornisce cure sanitarie e dentistiche essenziali ai cittadini COFA che sono stati esclusi dall'accesso ai benefici sanitari federali. Sebbene il Congresso abbia recentemente approvato una legislazione per ripristinare l'idoneità a Medicaid per i migranti COFA, lo Stato di Washington deve garantire che la copertura sia fornita fino al completamento dell'attuazione culturale e linguistica. Fornire soccorso ai lavoratori privi di documenti di Washington I Washingtoniani privi di documenti che sono stati esclusi dai sussidi di disoccupazione esistenti e dai pacchetti di incentivi federali sono stati particolarmente colpiti durante la pandemia di COVID-19. Sia attraverso un programma di emergenza temporaneo che amplia l'idoneità alla disoccupazione o finanziamenti più ampi attraverso il Washington Immigrant Relief fund, tutti i lavoratori meritano sollievo indipendentemente dallo stato di immigrazione. Promulgazione di un rimborso di recupero , una versione aggiornata del credito d'imposta per le famiglie che lavorano Un Recovery Rebate riporterebbe denaro nelle tasche delle persone a basso reddito, compresi i lavoratori immigrati che sono stati ingiustamente esclusi da altri benefici fiscali federali. Uno stimolo monetario mirato alle famiglie a basso reddito garantirebbe anche che i benefici siano diretti alle famiglie più danneggiate dal codice fiscale regressivo di Washington. Oltre alle nostre priorità legislative, l'APIC ha sempre sollevato la necessità di investimenti nella nostra comunità attraverso progetti di capitale. Quest'anno chiediamo supporto sui seguenti progetti di capitale: Centro Culturale Asia Pacifico Centro Culturale delle Comunità Unite del Laos AIPACE Aggiorneremo questo sito in seguito con i link per donare.

La nostra missione L'Asian Pacific Islander Coalition (APIC) è una rete statale di organizzazioni comunitarie dedicate alla giustizia razziale ed economica per tutti gli asiatici e gli isolani del Pacifico in solidarietà con le comunità nere, marroni e indigene. La Asian Pacific Islander Coalition (APIC) è stata creata dopo che il Welfare Reform Act del 1996 ha avuto un impatto significativo e ridotto l'idoneità federale dei non cittadini ai programmi di assistenza pubblica. Dopo aver riconosciuto la necessità di una voce collettiva a favore dei diritti e dell'equità degli abitanti asiatici e delle isole del Pacifico (API) nati all'estero, l'APIC ha iniziato a fare pressioni affinché il legislatore dello Stato di Washington colmi il divario creato dalla legislazione federale. Basandosi su questa eredità, ogni anno i capitoli APIC delle contee di King, Pierce, Snohomish, Yakima e Spokane e South Puget Sound riuniscono immigrati, rifugiati e cittadini dello stato di Washington per incontrare il governatore, i rappresentanti statali e i senatori statali per sostenere per i problemi più impattanti per le nostre comunità I nostri co-presidenti Lin Crowley lincrowley@gmail.com Brian Locke brian_locke@comcast.net
