But we are also working on a rural pilot as well. 00:30:49 Matt Wallen: Yes - we could partner with meals on wheels to offer delivery of meals. 00:32:03 ekluver: Hi Cathy, it is a high priority for processing so usually less than 24 hours turn around 00:32:33 aweaver@nebraskachildren.org: That is a great turnaround time!! 00:32:46 Tammy Jeffs: Good Morning- Tammy Jeffs Community Action Partnership of Mid NE- 27 County region. 00:32:55 Rose Hood Buss: Thank you!

Please reach out if you have any questions or might be interested in utilizing the service. 00:51:50 Julie Nash: In the Hall County area we are seeing quite a few families with significant unpaid medical bills. 00:52:11 Cathy Minnick: There is a fear amongst the undocumented families to seek help of any kind. Any suggestions to alleviate these fears? 00:52:36 aweaver@nebraskachildren.org: To go along with Medical Bills also a need for young people to be able to get their prescriptions 00:53:28 Sandy Nation: Needs from our documented immigrant and undocumented immigrants are rent, utilities, food, and medical care. Documented families are hesitant to apply for any resources they may be eligible for because it may have a negative impact on their immigration status. 00:54:32 Rachel Meier: Of the organizations Kristin listed off, they have experience with alleviating that barrier, it would be great to see if any of those organizations are connected into local collaboratives 00:55:02 Heartland United Way: We also have some families who rent from undocumented citizens, who will not give us a W9, and therefore we cannot help with their rent. 00:55:03 Pamela Schwalb: Sandy, 211 can help with rent and utility assistance for anyone in need in the state of Nebraska and SW Iowa. Please refer clients there ... 00:55:49 Sandy Nation: We help families set up medical expenses on a payment plan. Our local hospitals have financial assistance and payment plans available but families don't know to ask about these options. 00:57:39 Tammy Jeffs: IRS requirment 00:57:41 Heartland United Way: What is the turnaround for assistance from 211 right now? 01:01:50 aweaver@nebraskachildren.org: If the family or person is under 26 you can submit a support services fund to Project Everlast in Douglas County 01:03:03 gay mctate: I am not sure Tammy or Sarah from Platte- Colfax are on the call - in Schuyler the use of a trusted community member has helped with some of the fears of undocumented workers - issues there have included unscrupulous landlords, cash checking, medical needs, 01:03:29 Deborah Dancer: love that option, Gay 01:04:17 Heartland United Way: There are times we encourage them to come back in the future if we can help with another bill. 01:04:20 Deborah Dancer: Thanks, Mary. 01:05:32 gay mctate: usual food needs- also fears of those applying for citizenship are afraid that receiving any assistance will jeopardize that application. They are also sometimes reluctant to seek medical for their children , even if the children have medical coverage- 01:05:38 Pamela Schwalb: Regarding 211 turn-around assistance: due to increased volume the past couple of months, we take applications every other month, process in the alternating months. Then Dollar Energy / EAP / Goodfellows cut checks. Typically, we make landloard or utility aware that we are processing application so that eviction or service turn-off doesn't occur while in-process. 01:06:59 Pamela Schwalb: correction: every other WEEK -- not every other month. Sorry! 01:07:13 gay mctate: I referenced the experience that NECC in Douglas County had found a way to help with rent with that did not require a W9- we can share her information if others are interested 01:07:36 Sandy Nation: If someone wants to request rent or utility assistance through 211, do they just call 211 or can they do it online? 01:08:02 aweaver@nebraskachildren.org: Supreme court just ruled DACA cannot be taken away btw. Immigrant legal center in Omaha is a great resource for all of these issues 01:08:11 Deborah Dancer: Sorry, I have to hop off for another meeting. Have a good day. 01:09:27 Rachel Meier: For questions like that, immigrant legal center is a good resource. 01:10:38 Leonor Fuhrer: It may be a good idea to have an opportunity to invite Immigrant Legal Center to one of these calls. 01:10:41 Rachel Meier: There was a temporary change to the public charge rule to allow for covid-19 related public benefits to have special consideration but individuals need to keep documentation (ex. school closure notification) 01:10:57 Rachel Meier: Great idea Leonor! 01:11:10 Pamela Schwalb: @ Sandy - Users can access 211 by dialing the number, or visiting our website: www.unitedwaymidlands.org/2-1-1/ 01:11:27 Pamela Schwalb: or text zip code to 898211 01:11:29 Sandy Nation: Thanks, Pam. 01:12:23 Mary Hendricks: I also think a conversation with Legal Aid would be helpful. 01:13:23 Sandy Nation: We have Hispanic families who are having trouble paying their mortgage and have said their mortgage lenders are not offering loan modifications. 01:17:16 Jennifer Skala: http://dhhs.ne.gov/Documents/COVID-19-Federal-Supplemental-Appropriations.pdf 01:17:56 Bill Stanton: I need to jump off for another call. Great work everyone. 01:18:06 Rose Hood Buss: Who will the applications be released to? 01:18:42 Rose Hood Buss: Thanks! 01:19:21 LeaAnn-NCFF Consultant: It would not necessarily be the Collab that would need to apply, But could be a collab partner? Correct. 01:20:43 Darniece Amos-(Niecie) : Is it true, that the Governor has indicated that businesses that require masks to be wore, will not receive funds? 01:20:49 LeaAnn-NCFF Consultant: The Collab drives the decision, but a partner may be a better applicant. 01:21:07 Rachel Meier: That is true Darniece 01:21:22 Darniece Amos-(Niecie) : Ok 01:21:23 Rachel Meier: It's local governments. 01:21:43 Denise Zwiener: When will the map be ready to be reviewed by community collaboratives? 01:21:46 Rachel Meier: https://www.omaha.com/news/state_and_regional/ricketts-tells-local-governments-they-wont-get-federal-covid-19-money-if-they-require-masks/article_d15459b9-26df-527e-9899-9f579a3d8597.html 01:23:19 Rachel Meier: It applies to counties, cities, and utility districts. 01:24:16 Denise Zwiener: Thank you Jenny 01:26:22 Leonor Fuhrer: Thank you for clarifying @SusanneShore 01:28:17 Darniece Amos-(Niecie) : That does concern me as that means that clients can walk-in on staff unprotected. I couldn't get off mute fast enough to say out loud. 01:28:25 Denise Zwiener: Is Josie Rodriguez on your translator conversation this afternoon? 01:28:33 Jennifer Skala: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84554511148 today at 3:30 pm 01:30:20 Denise Zwiener: Is anyone exploring community health workers to help fill this roll to support those non-English speaking populations for health care and behavioral health care? 01:31:58 Jacki’s iPhone: you can request homage masks from Nebraska Hands and Feet,, on FB, if your agency or office wants make, request thru them and they will make and send to you 01:32:24 Jacki’s iPhone: NE VOAD members can apply for those masks that you just mentioned 01:32:44 Julie Nash: Masks have been donated for National VOAD and State VOAD nonprofit member organization staff & volunteer operations.

This is significant because it has implications for resource allocation. https://www.omaha.com/news/local/douglas-county-health-board-declares-racism-a-public-health-crisis/article_9a8fde0f-ce18-5d80-a76b-5daac994ad88.html#4 01:34:57 Sandy Nation: I need to go.
