SUMMARY:Community Action and the Proposed Changes to the Public Charge Rule
DESCRIPTION:The Community Action Partnership\, the National Association for State Community Services  Programs (NASCSP)\, and CAPLAW have been following a recent initiative being pursued by the Department of Homeland Security\, which would make changes to what is referred to as the Public Charge Rule. Under the  proposed changes\, use of certain government programs would count as negative factors against legal immigrants when they apply for citizenship. Medicaid\, SNAP\, and certain housing programs are specifically called out in the proposal. CSBG\, WAP\, LIHEAP\, and Head Start are not included in the proposed rule. However\, this proposal could have spillover effects negatively impacting Community Action programs and customers. \nThe proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on October 10th\, kicking off a 60-day comment period. The National Partners will host a webinar on November 28th at 12:30 ET/11:30 CT/10:30 MT/9:30 ET. This webinar will give an overview of the proposal and will share suggested comments and templates that your agency can use to officially weigh in the proposal if you so choose. Comments on the Federal Register Notice are due December 10th. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Learn About First Nonprofit
DESCRIPTION:Learn About First Nonprofit\nNonprofits typically have fewer unemployment claims than the private sector; therefore\, they often subsidize the state unemployment fund by paying more than necessary. Federal and state laws allow 501(c)(3) organizations to reimburse the state unemployment fund\, rather than pay the SUI tax in advance of having actual claims. FNP’s unemployment programs may well reduce your unemployment costs if you currently participate in the state tax system and can provide you with a safety net if you have already chosen the reimbursable option. \nParticipation in FNP programs provides:\n• Fixed annual cost for budgetary certainty\n• Multiple options for different coverage levels specific to CAP agency needs\n•Knowledgeable team of unemployment specialists to handle all your UI needs\n•Expert claims representation for unemployment hearings and audits\n• Access to training and services that can decrease the number of invalid unemployment claims\n•No pooling or shared risk \nWe encourage you or your designee to register now for this informative webinar. A quote from FNP is free with no obligation to join their program\, so you have nothing to lose! As an added bonus\, Community Action Agencies receive a 20% discount on the one-time enrollment fee. \nRegister
