State Update – Assemblymember Arambula

On March 30th, the Latino legislative Caucus sent a letter to Governor Newsom outlining three priorities.

• 1. Create and entirely fund a “Disaster Relief

Fund” for undocumented residents who are unable to work due to Covid-19 pandemic.

• 2. Remove the prohibition on immigrant filers for

the EITC, thereby extending access to eligible taxpaying families who file with an ITIN.

• 3. Extend Medi-Cal eligibility to low-income

undocumented adults.

Disaster Relief Fund for Undocumented Californians

• One-time disaster relief assistance from the general fund in the amount of $75

million, with potentially an additional $50 million contribution from the philanthropy sector.

• Funds will benefit individuals and families who are ineligible for any other type of

pandemic assistance, including direct assistance under CARES Act and unemployment insurance.

• Eligible Californian’s may receive one-time COVID-19 disaster relief assistance at

a value of $500 per individual or maximum of $1,000 per household.

• The California Department of Social Services is working with select immigrant-

serving community-based nonprofits to conduct outreach, application assistance and delivery of the disaster relief. Among the local organizations are the Fresno Center and the Education and Leadership Foundation, who will give us more information on process today.
