THURSDAY, APRIL 1
PROGRAM # 9214 12:00 PM PST
Federal and State Relief for Immigrant Families.
A federal tax official talks about the aid available for families of mixed immigration status under the American Rescue Plan, the checks available for families where both spouses are filing taxes with ITIN and the children are US citizens, the deadlines to keep in mind, and the special extension for Texas and other states that were hit by natural disasters. An immigrant advocate explains the help available in California under the Golden State Stimulus plan for immigrant families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many Californians with ITINs may also receive two tax breaks: the California Earned Income Tax Credit and the Young Child Tax Credit. Finally, a leading California state assemblymember explains the California Public Banking Option Act, a bill that would provide free-of-charge financial services to California residents in low-income communities. He also urges renters to find out about help available to those unable to meet their monthly payments by searching for the portal “Housing is Key.”
Guests: Irma Treviño, Spokesperson, US IRS, Harlingen, TX; Jessica Huerta, Spokesperson, CHIRLA, Los Angeles, CA; California State Assemblyman Miguel Santiago, D-Los Angeles, Sacramento, CA.
