About this listen
In this episode, NIWAP 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 for immigrant survivors. They begin by discussing the barriers to accessing benefits, the lack of knowledge, and the different eligibility requirements under state laws. They continue to talk about the various forms of programs, including educational, health, legal, and emergency benefits that immigrant domestic and sexual violence victims and their children are legally eligible to receive. They address income eligibility for state and federal public benefits and highlight how victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, dating violence, child abuse, and other crimes are legally eligible for some benefits in most states.
