Introducing Keep Your Benefits & Tus Beneficios Publicos
There is a lot of confusion around public benefits
and whether they impact a person's immigration options. Even with an injunction
to stop the Administration's new public charge rules, many people have
discontinued the basic benefits that keep a family healthy and safe.
Immigration Advocates Network worked with our partners at the Legal Aid Society
of San Mateo County, and Protecting Immigrant Families to create www.KeepYourBenefitsCA.org (www.TusBeneficiosPublicosCA.org). The new site
addresses the confusion, and encourages California residents to keep the
benefits they qualify for. It helps them understand if public benefits affect
their immigration status or plans. Keep Your Benefits is in English and
Spanish, and features an informational interview, plain language legal
information, links to more information, and a legal directory to help people
connect to the right help.
Check out our new site and let us know how we can work with you to innovate access to justice.
New Design Debut at the National Immigrant Integration Conference.
Citizeshipworks Debuts New Design at the NIIC
Citizenshipworks debuted its updated look and feel at last week’s National Immigrant Integration Conference (NIIC). We updated our award-winning site’s design to make it easier to navigate and more user-friendly. The Citizenshipworks redesign is the culmination of nearly a year of work, supported by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and based on user experience research and feedback from many of you! On September 17th, we launched the first phase of the redesign. In the months ahead, we will update the screening interview, and improve the site for pro se users. Meanwhile, we're working on the new N400 form; and encouraging folks to get their applications in before the fee waiver rules may take effect.
Visit the redesigned Citizenshipworks and contact us if you're interested in bringing Citizenshipworks to your organization.
