There is fear among immigrants that their status can be negatively affected
if they are dependent on the state or social services. Receiving $16 in
Food Stamps does not indicate a dependence on the system. I will copy Sal
Espino for his comments too. thanks. Jerry

We recently had a Hispanic BEC client who opted not to complete or submit a
SNAP application because he was concerned about sharing personal information
given the new administration and changing immigration policies. Have any
other BECs experienced such apprehension from clients?

Thank you,
