Slides: Healthcare: Understanding the Affordable Care Act and How it Affects Immigrant Survivors (April 16, 2015) [pdf]
The passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010 created both an entirely new way to obtain healthcare in the U.S. and also expanded on some of the preexisting healthcare access options. Under the ACA, many immigrant survivors applying for immigration relief become eligble for and obligated to purchase health care through the newly developed healthcare exchanges at various points in time after they have filed their immigration case. This webinar will provide information and resources on current laws governing access to healthcare, insurance and subsidies for immigrant survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, dating violence and human trafficking.
