Good Morning,


Thank you for sharing this information. I have checked with our staff and some local community partners, including an organization that specializes in helping Arab Americans and refugees. We have not yet encountered this issue with our clients.


Thanks again,

Dawn

Subject: BEC Calming fears
 

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,

Christina
