The Excluded Workers Fund has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers, allowing working families to finally get back on their feet after a year of pain and loss.

But there are still gaps in our safety net. In 2022, Governor Kathy Hochul fought to excluded undocumented New Yorkers from access to critical social programs, including a permanent excluded worker unemployment program.

Fight with us to fight for permanent change. We are calling on Governor Hochul and state legislators to repair the holes in our safety net and prevent the most vulnerable workers in our state from being excluded again. New York State needs a permanent alternative to unemployment for thousands of workers who otherwise don’t qualify.

El Fondo de Trabajadores Excluidos ha transformado las vidas de cientos de miles de neoyorquinos, permitiendo que las familias trabajadoras finalmente se recuperen después de un año de dolor y pérdida.

Pero todavía hay lagunas en nuestra red de seguridad. En 2022, la Gobernadora Kathy Hochul luchó para excluir a los neoyorquinos indocumentados del acceso a programas sociales críticos, incluido un programa permanente de desempleo para trabajadores excluidos.

Lucha con nosotros para el cambio permanente. Estamos exigiendo que la Gobernadora Hochul y a los legisladores estatales reparen los agujeros en nuestra red de seguridad y eviten que los trabajadores más vulnerables de nuestro estado sean excluidos nuevamente. El estado de Nueva York necesita una alternativa permanente al desempleo para miles de trabajadores que de otro modo no calificarían.

The Excluded Workers Fund has been a stunning success.

The fund has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers, giving working families real financial relief after a year of pain and loss. Families across New York have been able to finally make rent, address pressing medical needs, buy clothes and school supplies for their kids, and have the freedom to leave abusive partners and unsafe working situations.

Not only is the funding having a direct impact on those who have received it, but it’s going right back into our local economies, boosting small businesses and accelerating our recovery from the pandemic.

The Excluded Workers Fund exists because immigrant workers and their communities across the state fought for it. Yet for far too many workers - especially Black and brown working families - the door to support is still slammed shut when a crisis rolls around.

We are calling on Governor Hochul and state legislators to repair the holes in our safety net and prevent the most vulnerable workers in our state from being excluded again.

Pass A9037/S8165:
Excluded No More will set up a permanent program to provide compensation to workers who lose a job or income and are otherwise ineligible for unemployment insurance, primarily undocumented workers and cash earners and self-employed workers below a certain income threshold.

We don’t need temporary band-aids. We need permanent solutions to make sure excluded workers get support when they need it most.
