About this listen
In this third episode on benefits and services for immigrant survivors, Director Leslye Orloff, Assistant Director Rafaela Rodrigues, NIWAP American University Washington College of Law, and Elliott Casey from the Virginia Commonwealth's Attorneys' Services Council continue their discussion on benefits and services, looking at eligibility for state and federal means-tested public benefits by legal immigration status. They discuss the most common survivors advocates, attorneys, and judges encounter and discuss, by type of lawful immigration status, eligibility for state or federal public benefits; which benefits are based on means testing; which benefits have a 5-year waiting period; healthcare subsidies; when immigrants become eligible to purchase healthcare on the exchanges; and lastly, the varying levels of state benefits that different states offer.
