Immigrant Emergency Relief Fund Grants
Through a $20 million donation from Open Society Foundations to the Mayor’s Fund, the New York City COVID-19 Immigrant Emergency Relief program was able to provide direct monetary support for immigrant workers and their families who were ineligible for federal direct relief through the CARES bill or unemployment insurance. The program reached 76,000+ individuals.
The NYS Department of Health has confirmed that grants received under the Immigrant Emergency Relief Fund for undocumented workers in lieu of Federal Stimulus checks are considered exempt from consideration for Medicaid eligibility.
