Public Charge Screening Tool, Keep Your Benefits, Now in Chinese!
Last fall, the Immigration Advocates Network launched Keep Your
Benefits -
[link removed] with our partners at the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County, and
the Protecting Immigrant Families coalition. This week we launched a
Chinese language version of the site. Keep Your Benefits features
plain language information and an interactive guide to help
immigrants in California keep their benefits. It counters the
confusion caused by proposed changes, and reiterates that most
immigrants are not even eligible for the benefits that would affect
an immigration application. Look for updates in the weeks ahead, as
the State Department plans to revise it's form and process, to align
with the new rules.
Check out Keep Your Benefits -
[link removed] ! And let us know if you'd like to create a version for your state.
We would love to work with you.
Citizenshipworks: Alert and Response

fee, Citizenshipworks -

messages to help people understand the changes to the fee waiver,
encouraged them to apply, and invited them to connect to free legal
help. Through this campaign we received six to eight times more
inquiries than usual, in the weeks following our fee-related
messages.
