Thank you for sending me this Federal Coordination and Compliance Section: CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION communication.
I surely need your assistance to resolve my problem with my monthly EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer). It has been cut off from $230 into $37. The Essex County Executive Chief Joseph DiVicenzo of Superior Court of New Jersey is not able to explain to me as for the reasons of the big reduction of my Federal Assistance Benefit for low income families. Please do investigate. It is shown in public notice that the Federal deduction is only for $10 per person in the family. Why then if my family of 3 gets only $37! What is going on in this Federal Program given to New Jersey!

Ensuring consistent and effective Title VI enforcement across the federal government
On August 16, the Department of Justice, along with the Departments of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, and Transportation issued joint agency guidance on nondiscrimination protections under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in emergency and disaster preparedness, response, and recovery: Guidance to State and Local Governments and Other Federally Assisted Recipients Engaged in Emergency Preparedness, Response, Mitigation, and Recovery Activities on Compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (HTML) (en Español). The agencies have addressed Title VI requirements in previously issued emergency-related documents, but often as part of general civil rights considerations where Title VI has not been highlighted for its sole focus on race, color, and national origin discrimination. This joint agency guidance fills that gap.
The guidance provides an overview of the application of Title VI in emergency and disaster management and examples of promising practices that recipients of federal financial assistance can take now, in advance of emergencies and disasters, to ensure Title VI compliance. Notably, the guidance emphasizes that Title VI obligations and protections cannot be waived during emergencies and disasters. Although every emergency or disaster situation will be different and pose its own set of unique challenges, ad hoc responses during a crisis, which may violate Title VI, can be avoided with effective planning. The guidance highlights that preparation for exigent circumstances, including addressing meaningful access to services and benefits by limited English proficient communities can often make all the difference in preserving the lives of first-responders and the people they help.
Accompanying the guidance are two new resources assist recipients of federal financial assistance: the Department of Justice’s Tips and Tools for Reaching Limited English Proficient Communities in Emergency Preparedness, Response and Recovery and the Department of Health and Human Services’ Checklist for Recipients of Federal Financial Assistance, which facilitates the integration of the whole community into emergency-related activities.
