The Trump administration's draconian actions targeting immigrants have created fear and chilled the utilization of essential services, such as health care and other supports. Older immigrants already face many barriers in accessing the health, economic, and legal services they need to age with dignity.
Additional threats to their safety and administrative barriers erode their access to these supports and may complicate access and quality for all older adults and people with disabilities. The webinar will provide a high-level overview of major issues facing older immigrants in 2025. This webinar will also provide advocates with information regarding the recent sharing of private Medicaid information to immigration officials, the narrowing of immigrant eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid, and the erosion of protected areas from immigration enforcement.
Presenters will discuss:
- Who older immigrants are;
- Developments in immigration policies impacting older adults;
- General guidance for advocates who work with older immigrants with resources from Justice in Aging and our partners.
Who Should Participate: Advocates for and professionals working with older immigrants and other aging and disability stakeholders.
