THIS WEBSITE IS FUNDED BY THE GENEROUS SUPPORT FROM:
Welcome to Health Care Access
PURPOSE
- To improve access to health care benefits for immigrant victims of domestic violence by clarifying the relevant laws and government agencies which control immigrant access to benefits
- To make it easier for HHSA workers to understand how immigrant victims qualify for benefits
- To make it easier for victim advocates and attorneys to guide their clients though the benefits system
PROBLEM
- Although laws exist to give some immigrant victims access to state or federal public benefits, many victims are denied or do not apply because of the complicated nature of the laws
- Different government systems (federal and state benefits laws and county implementation, immigration laws, social security administration) which overlap and have limited communication with each other
WHO IS THIS SITE FOR
- HHSA workers who are trying to understand immigration status for immigrant victims of domestic violence
- Domestic violence advocates assisting clients to access benefits
- Immigration advocates and attorneys assisting clients to access benefits
- Social Security Administration workers who are trying to understand immigration status and benefits requirements to grant social security numbers
