What's this?

Washington state diverted $340M in federal COVID funds to immigrants

I know, I don't live in Washington state so what does it matter. Yawn ...... nobody will go to prison.

A new report is highlighting how federal COVID funds were used in Washington state to give $1,000 checks to illegal immigrants who were ineligible to receive federal economic impact payments during the pandemic due to their immigration status.

The report, by the Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC), points to money administered by the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF), which was created by the American Rescue Plan Act and was intended to help state and local governments with their response and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Washington state received $4.4 billion in funding overall from that program.

OK my math tells me $53M/500 families = 106K per family on average. -- Hoodafan 02/04/2024 12:54AM

Yes, we can certainly justify a small fraction of it. -- SixerHoo 02/04/2024 11:10AM
