Y a pesar de enormes dificultades, los inmigrantes han seguido batallando y obteniendo algunas conquistas a lo largo del año. Entre ellas, licencias de conducir para personas indocumentadas en 15 estados, como acaban de lograrlo en Nueva York y Nueva Jersey. A lo que se suma la reciente visa agrícola aprobada para áreas con densa población hispana. O contribuyendo con sus votos a elegir a legisladores que apoyen la agenda hispana. Y también confirmando que son el primer grupo de toda la población en establecer nuevos pequeños negocios. Por ello, y por haberse convertido nuevamente en un tema crucial para la campaña electoral presidencial de 2020, el comité editorial de Washington Hispanic eligió a los inmigrantes como El Personaje del Año, un título que otorgamos con carácter anual. La comunidad inmigrante está consciente que todavía hay mucho por hacer. Saben que ya llega otro momento para demostrar su civismo y su fuerza electoral, como se está viendo en las últimas semanas con crecientes cifras de registración de ciudadanos inmigrantes que quieren ejercer su derecho al voto. Es hora de demostrarlo y de La lucha infatigable de los inmigrantes en Estados Unidos es reconocida por Washington Hispanic que los ha designado repetir el lema que levantó el gran activista César Chávez: El Personaje del Año 2019.

At the Department of Employment Services (DOES), we take our commitment to our residents and our unemployment claimants very seriously. We appreciate your concerns and would like to address each of your requests. 1. Backpay: “We urge DOES to plan a claims processing “blitz” in the next 30 days in order to expediently process all remaining claims from 2020 and the backlog of emailed weekly certification forms that resulted from recent IT errors.” The agency did not have IT errors that resulted in a backlog of weekly certification forms that were emailed to DOES. As a result of changing federal guidance, we have utilized a strategy of updating our system while also continuing to collect certification forms, which is a pre-requisite for receiving payments. This strategy allows DOES to have the proper documentation in place to facilitate payments to claimants, as well as ensuring the new federal benefits can be dispersed as quickly as possible. DOES’ unemployment teams are working as quickly as possible to process all eligible claims.
