WNYC/Gothamist has confirmed most of New Jersey’s $40 million fund to help immigrants and other residents excluded from COVID-related aid during the pandemic will be re-allocated to other state expenses such as payroll. “It's just a slap in the face.'
. It was a much smaller pot of money than advocates said was needed for the state’s nearly half-a-million undocumented immigrants., initially offering one-time payments of $1,000 to individuals earning less than $55,000 and who were excluded from unemployment benefits or federal stimulus checks. The state later doubled those payments to $2,000 per person and $4,000 per household.
“Let's say you rent a basement apartment and that basement apartment isn't up to code, your landlord is not going to want to write out saying that he illegally rents the basement,” Dominguez said. “And what if you don't have a bank account because you get paid cash?” The Department of Human Services said more than 11,000 applications were submitted and about a quarter, or 2,600, were approved. Another 1,300 are inactive because the applicant withdrew or didn’t follow-up with more information and the rest are under review.
