Uniting for Ukraine arrivals after 9/30...

[fromsweden 197]

Hey all, 

 

I am housing (not sponsoring) a ukrainian woman who was approved for U4U in september but arrived in USA on 10/11/2024. From what I am reading, all of the benefits and accommodations that are outlined are very specific to arrivals on or before 9/30/3024. Per https://www.uscis.gov/ukraine...

> Effective Nov. 21, 2022, beneficiaries paroled into the United States under Uniting for Ukraine are employment authorized incident to parole. This means that if you are paroled into the United States under Uniting for Ukraine on or before Sept. 30, 2024, USCIS does not need to approve your application for employment authorization before you can work in the United States....

 

---> Does this mean that she is not eligible to get employment until an EAD is granted with I-765?

Per https://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=164863

>Beginning 05/21/2022, Ukrainian citizens, nationals of Ukraine and other non-Ukrainian individuals began receiving US Humanitarian Parole in two phases with the dates as follows:
02/24/2022 - 09/30/2023 - Initial Parole; and
10/01/2023 - 09/30/2024 - Extension of Parole
Individuals paroled into the United States between these dates may be eligible for federal mainstream benefits, including SNAP, Cash and Medical assistance under the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2022 (AUSAA) if all other financial and non-financial eligibility requirements are met.

 

---> Does this mean she is not eligible for SNAP and medical insurance? If so, how would she go about getting any benefits?

 

any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!

As a general comment those with HP are certainly eligible for Medicaid, I have seen people post who got it for that very purpose, not Ukranians but all the same.

 

And I also know that there are other benefits they are eligible for but have not gone in to details.

 

The EAD is odd, the way I read it it is free if you apply within certain dates and not otherwise but for the life of me can't think why. They say what happens before 30 September but not after.
