There are various social support programs in the United States, through which migrants can benefit from food, housing, and financial support. <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Most of the social supports are granted directly from the United States government and state governments, generally federal programs have requirements such as being permanent residents with a Green Card, being a refugee, having asylum, among others.<\/p>

Qualified immigrants, that is, people with Green Card holders<\/em>, refugees, or asylees, can apply for federal public benefits such as Medicaid, Children's Health Coverage Programs (CHIP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

However, there is social support from non-profit organizations. National Latino Network explains that \"Nonprofit charities can legally provide services to all people, regardless of immigration status.\" This provided it is respected that the services are not part of federal public benefits.<\/p>

These types of organizations are exempt from verifying the immigration status of the beneficiaries of their programs, even if their sponsorships come from federal, state or local funds. Furthermore, they cannot be penalized for providing social benefits to non-US citizens or qualified immigrants.<\/p>

Some of these benefits are: receiving advice and attention from the Legal Services Corporation or going to community health centers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Existen diversos programas de apoyos sociales en Estados Unidos, a trav\u00e9s de los cuales los migrantes pueden beneficiarse en temas de alimentaci\u00f3n, vivienda y apoyo econ\u00f3mico. La mayor parte de los apoyos sociales son otorgados directamente desde el gobierno de Estados Unidos y gobiernos estatales, generalmente los programas federales cuentan con requisitos como ser residentes permanentes con Green Card, ser refugiado, contar con asilo, entre otros. Los inmigrantes calificados, es decir, personas con Green Card, refugiados, o asilados, pueden aplicar a beneficios p\u00fablicos federales como Medicaid, Programas de cobertura m\u00e9dica para ni\u00f1os (CHIP), Asistencia Temporal para Familias Necesitadas (TANF), Programa de Asistencia Nutricional Suplementaria (SNAP) y Seguridad de Ingreso Suplementario (SSI). Sin embargo, existen apoyos sociales por parte de organizaciones sin fines de lucro. National Latino Network explica que “Las organizaciones ben\u00e9ficas sin fines de lucro pueden brindar servicios legalmente a todas las personas, independientemente de su estado migratorio”. Esto siempre que se respete que los servicios no forman parte de beneficios p\u00fablicos federales. Este tipo de organizaciones est\u00e1n exentos de verificar el estatus migratorio de los beneficiarios de sus programas, incluso si los patrocinios del mismo llegan de fondos federales, estatales o locales. Adem\u00e1s, no pueden ser sancionadas, por brindar beneficios sociales a personas no ciudadanas de EE.UU. o inmigrantes calificados. Algunos de estos beneficios son: recibir asesor\u00eda y atenci\u00f3n de Corporaci\u00f3n de Servicios Legales o acudir a Centros de salud comunitarios. Por otra parte, actualmente el gobierno estadounidense ha implementado programas de apoyo en pago de vivienda de alquiler durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Conoce si eres elegible para este programa haciendo clic aqu\u00ed. Estados como California cuentan con programas de asistencia para inmigrantes, los Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI). Dise\u00f1ado para inmigrantes de tercera edad, o con alguna discapacidad f\u00edsica o motriz, que califiquen seg\u00fan sus criterios.
