Delayed immigrant relief fund now accepting applications
September 22, 2022
According to axious.com, in Washington state, undocumented immigrants can now apply for a new fund that will provide them with financial aid. The state legislature initially budgeted $340 million for the immigrant aid fund in 2021 but the money was not distributed. State officials had to focus on helping Afghan refugees, resulting in the immigrant relief fund being delayed. Now, undocumented immigrants in Washington can apply to receive a check or prepared debit card through immigrantreliefwa.org from now until Nov. 14. Applicants must be ineligible for unemployment benefits or federal stimulus payments due to their immigration status. Also, applicants must live in Washington, be over the age of 18, and have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
