Stur with you. Welcome to thisepisode of us being with you. This
is Claudia Mendoza and in today's show we are very excited to immerse
ourselves in very important topics. First, we will discuss the positive impact of
social insurance administration through its campaign forequitable access to supplementary security income. And
(00:22):
to tell us more about this initiative, Abigail Zapote, senior advisor to the
Commissioner of the sss A, iswith us. We are also accompanied by
Fredy Wills, a respected journalist whospecializes in automotive content. He tells us
about an analysis of the HU ResearchCenter that shows us that seven out of
ten people feel more aware about theenvironment and tells us what we can do
(00:46):
to help our planet. We willthen explore the impact of immigration on the
U S labour market, highlighting itscrucial role in post- pandemic economic recovery.
Join us k Linking, or Fach, immigration attorney and executive director of
Linking Golfenge Lawn Austin Checks prepare fora super informative conversation and so more preamble.
(01:08):
Let' s start a weekly Chineseprogram information, segments and interviews to
empower our minds. Now it beginswe are with or. Today we will
analyze how immigration has had a significantimpact on the U S labor market,
(01:30):
exceeding expectations and helping to consolidate thecountry' s economic recovery after the pandemic.
We' re now with immigration attorneyCate Linking Golf Fenge. She is
the owner and executive director of Golfenge, Linking Golfenge, AN Austin, Texas.
Thank you so much for joining us, Cage. Thank you for inviting
(01:51):
me to talk a little bit moreabout the specific factors within immigration dynamics that
you think have contributed more significantly recentlyto the growth of the labor market here
in the United States. I thinkit' s the immigrant population that always
breeds the economy of the United States, usually because they are not known in
(02:15):
Spanish, but they are many antuporneuers, they raise businesses, companies and because
of the age they are. Theyare at least years of the U S
population, so it is multifactor,but it is obvious that the immigrant population
(02:40):
is a good thing for the US economy. We' re talking about
the entuberneuers. They are like entrepreneurs, people who start their own businesses,
who try to think outside the normalart the Bucks, as we say in
English. That' s good.How you think evolution is. It'
(03:01):
s going to be that role injobs born abroad, because we' re
looking and we' re seeing thatthere' s a lot of jobs or
a lot of companies that we're turning around and asking for help abroad.
How can we do this in thecoming years, especially this year,
with a year of choice, tosee how we can help our economy without
(03:21):
having to leave the country? Yes, indeed, we all know that we
are now at an anti- immigrantmoment in sentiment, especially from Texas,
where I am, but also inthe United States. But the reality is
that we have the baby s groupBowers that you' re growing up and
(03:44):
we' re going to need moreworkers in the economy and we' re
going to need people to take careof the baby Powers. And what,
in my opinion, what we're going to see is that the need
for immigration, for immigrants, isgoing to be more obvious, more obvious.
And in the end, I don' t know if it' s
gonna be in five years, tenyears. Congress is going to have to
(04:06):
act because it' s going tobe a necessity that no one can ignore.
It may be a little more orsome more details about the challenges and
opportunities associated with the integration of foreign- born workers into the labor market here
in the United States, specifically insectors experiencing rapid growth right now. We
(04:29):
' re seeing things of beauty.We are seeing how all this will affect
our work here in the United States, as opportunities are many. We also
have that gift here in the UnitedStates, where if we need workers,
we just have to, like turnon the Sweth, invite more immigrants.
(04:54):
The challenges are that it is difficultfor companies, for business to have workers
who are immigrants without a work permit. Then a worker must have a work
permit or social security. But thereare only few ways to fix or get
that work permit for a family case, a job case, a money case.
(05:18):
But the processes take a long timeand there are many people who want
to work here, they have thenecessary skills, but they don' t
have the documents to work legally.That' s like the hardest thing,
in my opinion, for businesses thatwant to employ immigrants. Yeah, that
(05:43):
' s what I' m seeingyou sometimes say, at least in my
own family, over ten years ago, my aunt asked my uncle and he
' s still in the process alreadymaking it supposedly take ten years and that
' s a family leave like that. Imagine those that are work permits,
especially after the pandemic. If theyclosed those companies because they couldn' t
(06:04):
stay afloat, then now more peopleare looking for ways to help the country,
to stay in the country. Butthe whole process is a little more
difficult. How can we, asa Community, reach out to our Government
to help us in this factor?I think we' re gonna need the
business group to use their lips.I don' t know how to say
(06:30):
it, but they ask for immigrationreform from Congress, because, in fact,
we know that, as activists orimmigrants, they won' t be
able to move the cops without thehelp of Hourgisa r Price, the big
(06:53):
business group in the United States.They have to tell Congress that we want
a change in immigration laws and itdoesn' t owe anything else. To
say that immigration is a bad word, because, in fact, there are
like assertive politicians who use the fearof immigration for how to gain feedback,
(07:15):
but the reality is that this countryneeds more immigrants and migrations a good word.
We are a country that started andif it continued to grow with immigrants,
then it is being able to understandhow we can help each other to
also, understandably, these governors,leave the people who are hard working to
(07:40):
help the country, to help theirfamily and want to do everything on the
right side. We' re talkingto immigration attorney cat Linking Golfhenge. She
owns and executive director of Linking golfengeLand, Austin, Texas? How do
you think policy makers should address theimplications of immigration in the general economy,
(08:01):
because we are talking particularly about diversityin the workforce, that we all want
to help the economy, but howcan we all get there and get on
the same bus and go the sameway? The answer is mingrative reform.
Yes, because, as he explained, the waiting for a family case can
(08:26):
be from each one now and itis similar for work and humanitarian hearings.
The wait is very long and thereare millions of people who want to immigrate
to the United States or are alreadyhere, but they can' t fix
and are working, but they don' t have social insurance. So it
' s better for everyone if wehave immigration reform and than Congress that makes
(08:52):
a law that gives everyone more opportunitiesto employ immigrants. Perfect. Now we
are going to go to the sofundamental role that foreign- born workers are
playing in order to close the gapsin labor forces. What strategies do you
recommend to build or strengthen a moreinclusive environment for the support of native and
(09:18):
immigrant workers here in the United States. How can we all come back,
that' s like I feel likeI' m repeating myself, but I
know there are different ways we canhelp out of the country and inside the
country. Yeah, it' slike that' s the idea we were
discussing, that we have to tellthe truth that immigration is a good thing
(09:41):
and that everyone needs immigration and thatnews about one Facts or Republicans about what
' s going on at the bordersaying we have an invasion. None of
that is helpful for the United States, for everyone who is here, for
immigrants and Black people for people hereand that first for me is that we
(10:03):
all have to change the Beatreck Idon' t know in Spanish, but
the words we use talking about immigrantsand migration in the workforce, but also
in the news and our conversations onsocial networks. It is very important that
we change the way we talk aboutimmigrants and my exact grace is how to
(10:28):
change that chip to be able tolook and take the positive form of the
word, how positive it can bringimmigration and immigrants to this country. Basically,
it' s exactly perfect. Thankyou so much for joining us.
We' ve been talking to immigrationattorney Caitlinken Golfsenge, who already owns the
Executive Director of Linking Colhenchlin in Austin, Texas. He was telling us more
(10:50):
about the significant impact on the US labor market, of which immigrants and
immigration have a lot of influence.Thanks for joining us, k thanks for
the imitation. According to an analysisby the research center seven out of ten
people feel more aware of the environmentand Hispanic Americans are much more likely than
(11:13):
whites to claim that climate change iscaused by humans. To talk more about
this, Freddy Willis is a highlyrespected journalist who specializes in automotive content.
Thank you so much for joining us. Freddy Clardia a pleasure to be here
with Tigers, with your entire audience. Perfect, well, of course,
(11:33):
with pleasure. Let' s talkabout that, because this is very trending
and especially entering a new year,we mean we want to make some changes,
who, what Hispanic Americans think,or about climate change and the effects
on communities. I know my familyfor that is, at least keep recycling
turn off the light. What doesthis mean, then, Mira Claudia,
(11:56):
this study you mentioned that gives usa very important reference. In addition,
because the PIU Research Center has nopolitical affiliation. It' s not for
profit either, so it gives usvery good credibility. And it' s
a solid argument that seventy- sixpercent of Hispanics are concerned about climate change,
(12:16):
about caring for the planet. It' s a very important thing,
because we thought we only cared aboutmigration issues or those of the economy,
but that' s not at thetop of the list and Hispanics living in
the United States do what you haveto say, that is, recycle,
conserve energy, conserve water, planttrees and it' s very important.
(12:37):
And now for what pollutes the environment, the internal messy garsolin vehicles that are
polluting the environment, because the alternativeof having electric vehicles seems to me that
we are embracing it as you saythe, we are adapting and welcoming much
more, because precisely it will helpus to care for that planet that we
(12:58):
so much want exactly that Freddy.Well, speaking of automatic cars or this
electric, how can we suddenly sayis that electric cars are a little too
expensive. How can we start orchange that chip that suddenly comes out even
more expensive with having a car thatneeds gasoline, an electric car suddenly for
next year. One says well,I need to change the car. What
(13:20):
can you tell these listeners that theyare thinking of changing the car that they
suddenly consider an electric one, suddenlynot so fancy and so expensive. But
something that I also helped the environmentand that over the long term I also
helped their pocket. Yes, veryimportant question, because there are manufacturers who
are working hard to make costs moreaffordable, that technologies evolve more and more
(13:43):
to give you the opportunity. Virtuallyall people who can have the possibility to
acquire an electric vehicle Mira. Themanufacturer Qia is one of them. Before
thinking of an electric vehicle below fortythousand two, it was like a fantasy
a few years ago exactly, butnow you can get yourself a pianier,
(14:05):
for example, for thirty- eightthirty- nine thousand dollars. Their next
vehicle, which is a Pibstics forforty- two thousand dollars. So the
gap is already closing. And thisis a transition, this is an evolution.
The industry is changing in such away that it is going to be
allowed to increase infrastructure so that costsare being reduced, so that people,
like you, like me, asthe Hispanic in general, have those opportunities
(14:30):
or have more opportunities to acquire aperfect vehicle, apart from electric vehicles.
What we Hispanic Americans can do totake that step. To say, well,
all of a sudden I haven't been recycling, or what I
can do, apart from recycling andhow I can execute it, because I
know that that varies also depends oncity, city from state to state,
(14:52):
the way one recycles us. Allthat where we can suddenly find a little
more information than it suddenly works forus where we are living. We must
continue to claudio with those initiatives thatyou mention, not to stop recycling,
to limit use, to reduce theuse of plastics, to conserve energy,
to conserve water, to plant trees, to do something and, of course,
(15:13):
to think more and more about atransition to an electric vehicle or,
at least, not to completely disappeargasoline vehicles and not also to have the
alternative of the electric vehicle. Allthat will help and if you create more
information, you can go here topoint com and there you will find lots
of information And all this information willalso be in Spanish. Indeed ok perfect.
(15:35):
We' re talking to Freddy Wills. He is a respected journalist who
specializes in automotive content. A littlebit more gets my attention from the automotive
content tell us. A story ofsomething you know about your entire career,
that you' ve become like ahigh school that has highlighted you and told
you this story I' ve alwaysliked. Okay. There are many,
(15:56):
I mean, they ask me,for example, what is the favorite vehicle
I have driven, which is themost spectacular vehicle. And I' d
tell you one thing. I've driven a lot, I mean,
over a thousand cars. I thinksome of them exotic, some of them
cars with millionaire costs, but usuallyI tell people look there is a taste
(16:19):
in some vehicles that are simpler andlately, the experience of driving certain electric
vehicles with an experience, a sportyfeeling has given me a lot of satisfaction.
I had the opportunity to drive theIX ct iv guide and when I
(16:42):
step on the accelerator is a sportscar that has nothing to envy to.
The only thing is it doesn't sound like brom Broon as a gas
car posp. But he threw myback directly at the back of the seat
and drew a smile at the sensationas impressive as if you were on a
(17:04):
roller coaster. So this was lovely, but well, we could stay here
all the time talking about a lotmore experience, but I don' t
expect you to have that much exacttime. Yes, not only have I
been curious because obviously, everyone hastheir expertise, especially as journalists, doing
a report here, in reporting there, and we all have like that story
that highlights us, that we likeand that when we ask ourselves something like
(17:27):
that, you say this. Thisis always my drop that I love to
say, because that' s theone that, as you say, you
bring that smile and brings you goodmemories. Thank you so much for joining
us. We were talking to FredWills, renowned journalists and specialized in automotive
content. He was talking to usabout electric vehicles and how we, as
(17:48):
Hispanic Americans in this country, canhelp climate change. Thanks for joining us,
Freddy. Thank you very much,Claudia. A special greeting for you,
for the whole audience. Thank you. Today we will talk about the
positive impact that the s s sS has had on social insurance to SS
through its campaign for equitable access tosupplementary security income. With a time of
more than twenty- five percent ofSS and applications in two thousand twenty-
(18:12):
three, the social security administration ismaking a difference in neglected communities, all
over the United States. To tellus more about the outreach campaign against the
continuing SS and accompany us, thechief advisor to the Commissioner. Thanks for
(18:33):
joining us. Thank you, Claudia, delighted to be here to talk more
about the supplemental security program with yourradio listen clearly, I love this because
we are coming to a community thatusually doesn' t get much benefit.
How people can determine whether they areeligible for SS payments and explain us a
little more about SS if you lookfirst. First, most people probably know
(18:57):
more about our social insurance benefits forretired people, but we also run this
SS program for adults or children withdisabilities or who are blind and have incomes
and resources below specific financial limits.If you receive a doctor or if you
(19:22):
are receiving knapp or feeding aid,you can also receive sss I and what
and what is the application process ofthe SS and for those who may be
eligible if you think you may beentitled to this program. You can first
visit our website, which is fullyin Spanish. This website is the Www.
(19:47):
Social Security, GW Diagonal SS.You can start there by requesting it,
but you can also call us atone eight hundred seven, seven,
two, one or two one three. You can press seven for Spanish to
confirm an appointment to visit us ina local office. In this office our
(20:08):
agents can help you in Spanish tocomplete the request. Then please visit the
Internet, or you can also callus again an eight hundred, seven,
one thousand seven, two, two, one three to start the application.
Today exactly and the page again isSocial Security, g O B Diagonal s
(20:30):
S. And right right, perfectand now for people who can also be
eligible for SS and if they're already getting social security benefits, this
is something that can suddenly do acontraindication or suddenly say I' m not
already getting a benefit. I'm not gonna get another how that works.
If you see, there are peoplenow aged sixty- five or over
(20:52):
who are now receiving retirement benefits,but if they comply with financial wealth,
they can also receive these payments.Wish you can help pay for basic needs
such as rent, food, clothingand medicine, and look yes, you
are getting at least one SS dollarand you can also qualify for America CADE.
(21:18):
So, with these two benefits,you can definitely change your life or
not that you need that little bitof help on every exact day or month.
And now that it' s allkind of going up and we don
' t know how we' regoing to get from where we' re
going to pay for all these extrahelpers are definitely very, very good.
(21:38):
We' re talking to Abigail Zapote, chief advisor to the Commissioner. She
is talking a little more about thepositive impact that social security administration has had
through its campaign for equitable access tosupplementary security income. Abigail, why social
security is expanding its scope was onething you commented on. We had a
(22:04):
very good campaign in the two thousandtwenty- three, where we were able
to raise more than one seven millionrequests for additional revenue security. But that
doesn' t mean we' redone with this campaign. We know that
there are many people in different communitiesin the United States who need this support
(22:25):
again to pay for these basic needs, such as food, clothing, and
medicine for adults or children with disabilities. Then please write down one, eight
hundred seven and seven, two,one, two, one, three and
press seven for Spanish to confirm yourappointment with us. Or you can visit
the social insurance GV Diagonal SS andthis Internet is totally in Spanish. Then
(22:55):
please contact us. We' reready to help exactly. And if you
are not sure, then the worstof diligence in which you do not take
the moment and cos visit social insurance, point ge ob diagonal ss Or as
friend Abigail says calls the one eighthundred, seven, seven, two,
one, two, one, threepressures, the number seven Spanish corduroy,
(23:17):
Abigail and tell us. A littlemore than why the campaign is focusing on
neglected communities. Since the pandemic,We notice that a great decline in the
cruds of the most needy, wheremost of the people living in these postal
codes are people who live in orbelow one hundred and fifty percent of the
(23:37):
federal level of poverty. This meansthat many people may need these benefits.
So that' s why we launchedthe campaign. We continue the campaign in
the twenty- four thousand to ensurethat people that these benefits, if eligible,
are ready. For them and forpeople who come out with neglected communities,
(23:59):
what are the types of challenges theyface. One thing we realized is
that a lot of people right nowdon' t have access to a computer
or the Internet. So we givehim number one, eight hundred, seven,
one thousand seven, two, oneor two, one three to communicate
with us. We also know thattransportation is a very big challenge for people,
(24:21):
especially if they don' t haveaccess to a car. So that
' s why we give the websiteto Www, Social Security, GW Diagonal
SS, because even if you don' t have a computer in the house,
you can go to a library,you can have a friend who can
help you. To start the applicationtoday and I also want to remind people
(24:45):
that best if you don' tneed this extra help, but you do
know if you know a friend,a neighbor, a student to please give
them this information again on the oneeight hundred seven, a thousand seven,
two, one, two, one, two, one, three, or
our website, at the www,social insurance or diagonas can help people who
(25:12):
need these benefits more and for peoplewho are more or less interested. How
long this process takes, because,well, sometimes one says I' m
like in the quick move or I' m as urge of this help and
I don' t know if Ican wait three, four months or so.
How long it takes to do theprocess and to approve one. The
(25:37):
process itself is a little long,but when you finish your application the day
they finish the application. When theapplication is approved, we give you this
benefit from the day the application ended. It has to be said that I
finish my application I hear in March, but my benefit is not approved until
(26:00):
We have to say in May.Then we approved it in May, but
we gave them the benefit in Marchwhen they finished they applied. So it
' s like retroactive, like theygive one more or less the help he
needed in those past months. Yeah, right, perfect. Hear how you
are using social security, data toreach people across the country. We are
(26:23):
using data to ensure that we arereaching the communities most in need of this
benefit. So we' re focusingon communities that are living below the poverty
line. Under one hundred and fiftypercent of the federal level of poverty.
Yes, also to reach communities thatspeak a language that is not English,
(26:47):
then for people who are who knowmore about Spanish, other languages. We
are also making sure that between theseradio interviews, also put on the Internet
or on Facebook, they reach themtoo because, as I am telling you,
we want all people to know moreabout our requirements, to know more
(27:11):
about the process of this request andmore than anything else to call us one,
eight hundred, seventh, seven,two, one or two, one,
three or to visit us at ourwebsite in Spanish, at LEUBU,

And in the end, I don' t know if it' s

It may be a little more orsome more details about the challenges and

have that gift here in the UnitedStates, where if we need workers,
we just have to, like turnon the Sweth, invite more immigrants.
(04:54):
The challenges are that it is difficultfor companies, for business to have workers

(05:43):
' s what I' m seeingyou sometimes say, at least in my
own family, over ten years ago, my aunt asked my uncle and he
' s still in the process alreadymaking it supposedly take ten years and that
' s a family leave like that. Imagine those that are work permits,
especially after the pandemic. If theyclosed those companies because they couldn' t
(06:04):
stay afloat, then now more peopleare looking for ways to help the country,
to stay in the country. Butthe whole process is a little more
difficult. How can we, asa Community, reach out to our Government
to help us in this factor?I think we' re gonna need the
business group to use their lips.I don' t know how to say
(06:30):
it, but they ask for immigrationreform from Congress, because, in fact,
we know that, as activists orimmigrants, they won' t be
able to move the cops without thehelp of Hourgisa r Price, the big
(06:53):
business group in the United States.They have to tell Congress that we want
a change in immigration laws and itdoesn' t owe anything else. To
say that immigration is a bad word, because, in fact, there are
like assertive politicians who use the fearof immigration for how to gain feedback,
(07:15):
but the reality is that this countryneeds more immigrants and migrations a good word.
We are a country that started andif it continued to grow with immigrants,
then it is being able to understandhow we can help each other to
also, understandably, these governors,leave the people who are hard working to
(07:40):
help the country, to help theirfamily and want to do everything on the
right side. We' re talkingto immigration attorney cat Linking Golfhenge. She
owns and executive director of Linking golfengeLand, Austin, Texas? How do
you think policy makers should address theimplications of immigration in the general economy,
(08:01):
because we are talking particularly about diversityin the workforce, that we all want
to help the economy, but howcan we all get there and get on
the same bus and go the sameway? The answer is mingrative reform.
Yes, because, as he explained, the waiting for a family case can
(08:26):
be from each one now and itis similar for work and humanitarian hearings.
The wait is very long and thereare millions of people who want to immigrate
to the United States or are alreadyhere, but they can' t fix
and are working, but they don' t have social insurance. So it
' s better for everyone if wehave immigration reform and than Congress that makes
(08:52):
a law that gives everyone more opportunitiesto employ immigrants. Perfect. Now we
are going to go to the sofundamental role that foreign- born workers are
playing in order to close the gapsin labor forces. What strategies do you
recommend to build or strengthen a moreinclusive environment for the support of native and
(09:18):
immigrant workers here in the United States. How can we all come back,
that' s like I feel likeI' m repeating myself, but I
know there are different ways we canhelp out of the country and inside the
country. Yeah, it' slike that' s the idea we were
discussing, that we have to tellthe truth that immigration is a good thing
(09:41):
and that everyone needs immigration and thatnews about one Facts or Republicans about what
' s going on at the bordersaying we have an invasion. None of
that is helpful for the United States, for everyone who is here, for
immigrants and Black people for people hereand that first for me is that we
(10:03):
all have to change the Beatreck Idon' t know in Spanish, but
the words we use talking about immigrantsand migration in the workforce, but also
in the news and our conversations onsocial networks. It is very important that
we change the way we talk aboutimmigrants and my exact grace is how to
(10:28):
change that chip to be able tolook and take the positive form of the
word, how positive it can bringimmigration and immigrants to this country. Basically,
it' s exactly perfect. Thankyou so much for joining us.
We' ve been talking to immigrationattorney Caitlinken Golfsenge, who already owns the
Executive Director of Linking Colhenchlin in Austin, Texas. He was telling us more
(10:50):
about the significant impact on the US labor market, of which immigrants and
immigration have a lot of influence.Thanks for joining us, k thanks for
the imitation. According to an analysisby the research center seven out of ten
people feel more aware of the environmentand Hispanic Americans are much more likely than
(11:13):
whites to claim that climate change iscaused by humans. To talk more about
this, Freddy Willis is a highlyrespected journalist who specializes in automotive content.
Thank you so much for joining us. Freddy Clardia a pleasure to be here
with Tigers, with your entire audience. Perfect, well, of course,
(11:33):
with pleasure. Let' s talkabout that, because this is very trending
and especially entering a new year,we mean we want to make some changes,
who, what Hispanic Americans think,or about climate change and the effects
on communities. I know my familyfor that is, at least keep recycling
turn off the light. What doesthis mean, then, Mira Claudia,
(11:56):
this study you mentioned that gives usa very important reference. In addition,
because the PIU Research Center has nopolitical affiliation. It' s not for
profit either, so it gives usvery good credibility. And it' s
a solid argument that seventy- sixpercent of Hispanics are concerned about climate change,
(12:16):
about caring for the planet. It' s a very important thing,
because we thought we only cared aboutmigration issues or those of the economy,
but that' s not at thetop of the list and Hispanics living in
the United States do what you haveto say, that is, recycle,
conserve energy, conserve water, planttrees and it' s very important.
(12:37):
And now for what pollutes the environment, the internal messy garsolin vehicles that are
polluting the environment, because the alternativeof having electric vehicles seems to me that
we are embracing it as you saythe, we are adapting and welcoming much
more, because precisely it will helpus to care for that planet that we
(12:58):
so much want exactly that Freddy.Well, speaking of automatic cars or this
electric, how can we suddenly sayis that electric cars are a little too
expensive. How can we start orchange that chip that suddenly comes out even
more expensive with having a car thatneeds gasoline, an electric car suddenly for
next year. One says well,I need to change the car. What
(13:20):
can you tell these listeners that theyare thinking of changing the car that they
suddenly consider an electric one, suddenlynot so fancy and so expensive. But
something that I also helped the environmentand that over the long term I also
helped their pocket. Yes, veryimportant question, because there are manufacturers who
are working hard to make costs moreaffordable, that technologies evolve more and more
(13:43):
to give you the opportunity. Virtuallyall people who can have the possibility to
acquire an electric vehicle Mira. Themanufacturer Qia is one of them. Before
thinking of an electric vehicle below fortythousand two, it was like a fantasy
a few years ago exactly, butnow you can get yourself a pianier,
(14:05):
for example, for thirty- eightthirty- nine thousand dollars. Their next
vehicle, which is a Pibstics forforty- two thousand dollars. So the
gap is already closing. And thisis a transition, this is an evolution.
The industry is changing in such away that it is going to be
allowed to increase infrastructure so that costsare being reduced, so that people,
like you, like me, asthe Hispanic in general, have those opportunities
(14:30):
or have more opportunities to acquire aperfect vehicle, apart from electric vehicles.
What we Hispanic Americans can do totake that step. To say, well,
all of a sudden I haven't been recycling, or what I
can do, apart from recycling andhow I can execute it, because I
know that that varies also depends oncity, city from state to state,
(14:52):
the way one recycles us. Allthat where we can suddenly find a little
more information than it suddenly works forus where we are living. We must
continue to claudio with those initiatives thatyou mention, not to stop recycling,
to limit use, to reduce theuse of plastics, to conserve energy,
to conserve water, to plant trees, to do something and, of course,
(15:13):
to think more and more about atransition to an electric vehicle or,
at least, not to completely disappeargasoline vehicles and not also to have the
alternative of the electric vehicle. Allthat will help and if you create more
information, you can go here topoint com and there you will find lots
of information And all this information willalso be in Spanish. Indeed ok perfect.
(15:35):
We' re talking to Freddy Wills. He is a respected journalist who
specializes in automotive content. A littlebit more gets my attention from the automotive
content tell us. A story ofsomething you know about your entire career,
that you' ve become like ahigh school that has highlighted you and told
you this story I' ve alwaysliked. Okay. There are many,
(15:56):
I mean, they ask me,for example, what is the favorite vehicle
I have driven, which is themost spectacular vehicle. And I' d
tell you one thing. I've driven a lot, I mean,
over a thousand cars. I thinksome of them exotic, some of them
cars with millionaire costs, but usuallyI tell people look there is a taste
(16:19):
in some vehicles that are simpler andlately, the experience of driving certain electric
vehicles with an experience, a sportyfeeling has given me a lot of satisfaction.
I had the opportunity to drive theIX ct iv guide and when I
(16:42):
step on the accelerator is a sportscar that has nothing to envy to.
The only thing is it doesn't sound like brom Broon as a gas
car posp. But he threw myback directly at the back of the seat
and drew a smile at the sensationas impressive as if you were on a
(17:04):
roller coaster. So this was lovely, but well, we could stay here
all the time talking about a lotmore experience, but I don' t
expect you to have that much exacttime. Yes, not only have I
been curious because obviously, everyone hastheir expertise, especially as journalists, doing
a report here, in reporting there, and we all have like that story
that highlights us, that we likeand that when we ask ourselves something like
(17:27):
that, you say this. Thisis always my drop that I love to
say, because that' s theone that, as you say, you
bring that smile and brings you goodmemories. Thank you so much for joining
us. We were talking to FredWills, renowned journalists and specialized in automotive
content. He was talking to usabout electric vehicles and how we, as
(17:48):
Hispanic Americans in this country, canhelp climate change. Thanks for joining us,
Freddy. Thank you very much,Claudia. A special greeting for you,
for the whole audience. Thank you. Today we will talk about the
positive impact that the s s sS has had on social insurance to SS
through its campaign for equitable access tosupplementary security income. With a time of
more than twenty- five percent ofSS and applications in two thousand twenty-
(18:12):
three, the social security administration ismaking a difference in neglected communities, all
over the United States. To tellus more about the outreach campaign against the
continuing SS and accompany us, thechief advisor to the Commissioner. Thanks for
(18:33):
joining us. Thank you, Claudia, delighted to be here to talk more
about the supplemental security program with yourradio listen clearly, I love this because
we are coming to a community thatusually doesn' t get much benefit.
How people can determine whether they areeligible for SS payments and explain us a
little more about SS if you lookfirst. First, most people probably know
(18:57):
more about our social insurance benefits forretired people, but we also run this
SS program for adults or children withdisabilities or who are blind and have incomes
and resources below specific financial limits.If you receive a doctor or if you
(19:22):
are receiving knapp or feeding aid,you can also receive sss I and what
and what is the application process ofthe SS and for those who may be
eligible if you think you may beentitled to this program. You can first
visit our website, which is fullyin Spanish. This website is the Www.
(19:47):
Social Security, GW Diagonal SS.You can start there by requesting it,
but you can also call us atone eight hundred seven, seven,
two, one or two one three. You can press seven for Spanish to
confirm an appointment to visit us ina local office. In this office our
(20:08):
agents can help you in Spanish tocomplete the request. Then please visit the
Internet, or you can also callus again an eight hundred, seven,
one thousand seven, two, two, one three to start the application.
Today exactly and the page again isSocial Security, g O B Diagonal s
(20:30):
S. And right right, perfectand now for people who can also be
eligible for SS and if they're already getting social security benefits, this
is something that can suddenly do acontraindication or suddenly say I' m not
already getting a benefit. I'm not gonna get another how that works.
If you see, there are peoplenow aged sixty- five or over
(20:52):
who are now receiving retirement benefits,but if they comply with financial wealth,
they can also receive these payments.Wish you can help pay for basic needs
such as rent, food, clothingand medicine, and look yes, you
are getting at least one SS dollarand you can also qualify for America CADE.
(21:18):
So, with these two benefits,you can definitely change your life or
not that you need that little bitof help on every exact day or month.
And now that it' s allkind of going up and we don
' t know how we' regoing to get from where we' re
going to pay for all these extrahelpers are definitely very, very good.
(21:38):
We' re talking to Abigail Zapote, chief advisor to the Commissioner. She
is talking a little more about thepositive impact that social security administration has had
through its campaign for equitable access tosupplementary security income. Abigail, why social
security is expanding its scope was onething you commented on. We had a
(22:04):
very good campaign in the two thousandtwenty- three, where we were able
to raise more than one seven millionrequests for additional revenue security. But that
doesn' t mean we' redone with this campaign. We know that
there are many people in different communitiesin the United States who need this support
(22:25):
again to pay for these basic needs, such as food, clothing, and
medicine for adults or children with disabilities. Then please write down one, eight
hundred seven and seven, two,one, two, one, three and
press seven for Spanish to confirm yourappointment with us. Or you can visit
the social insurance GV Diagonal SS andthis Internet is totally in Spanish. Then
(22:55):
please contact us. We' reready to help exactly. And if you
are not sure, then the worstof diligence in which you do not take
the moment and cos visit social insurance, point ge ob diagonal ss Or as
friend Abigail says calls the one eighthundred, seven, seven, two,
one, two, one, threepressures, the number seven Spanish corduroy,
(23:17):
Abigail and tell us. A littlemore than why the campaign is focusing on
neglected communities. Since the pandemic,We notice that a great decline in the
cruds of the most needy, wheremost of the people living in these postal
codes are people who live in orbelow one hundred and fifty percent of the
(23:37):
federal level of poverty. This meansthat many people may need these benefits.
So that' s why we launchedthe campaign. We continue the campaign in
the twenty- four thousand to ensurethat people that these benefits, if eligible,
are ready. For them and forpeople who come out with neglected communities,
(23:59):
what are the types of challenges theyface. One thing we realized is
that a lot of people right nowdon' t have access to a computer
or the Internet. So we givehim number one, eight hundred, seven,
one thousand seven, two, oneor two, one three to communicate
with us. We also know thattransportation is a very big challenge for people,
(24:21):
especially if they don' t haveaccess to a car. So that
' s why we give the websiteto Www, Social Security, GW Diagonal
SS, because even if you don' t have a computer in the house,
you can go to a library,you can have a friend who can
help you. To start the applicationtoday and I also want to remind people
(24:45):
that best if you don' tneed this extra help, but you do
know if you know a friend,a neighbor, a student to please give
them this information again on the oneeight hundred seven, a thousand seven,
two, one, two, one, two, one, three, or
our website, at the www,social insurance or diagonas can help people who
(25:12):
need these benefits more and for peoplewho are more or less interested. How
long this process takes, because,well, sometimes one says I' m
like in the quick move or I' m as urge of this help and
I don' t know if Ican wait three, four months or so.
How long it takes to do theprocess and to approve one. The
(25:37):
process itself is a little long,but when you finish your application the day
they finish the application. When theapplication is approved, we give you this
benefit from the day the application ended. It has to be said that I
finish my application I hear in March, but my benefit is not approved until
(26:00):
We have to say in May.Then we approved it in May, but
we gave them the benefit in Marchwhen they finished they applied. So it
' s like retroactive, like theygive one more or less the help he
needed in those past months. Yeah, right, perfect. Hear how you
are using social security, data toreach people across the country. We are
(26:23):
using data to ensure that we arereaching the communities most in need of this
benefit. So we' re focusingon communities that are living below the poverty
line. Under one hundred and fiftypercent of the federal level of poverty.
Yes, also to reach communities thatspeak a language that is not English,
(26:47):
then for people who are who knowmore about Spanish, other languages. We
are also making sure that between theseradio interviews, also put on the Internet
or on Facebook, they reach themtoo because, as I am telling you,
we want all people to know moreabout our requirements, to know more
(27:11):
about the process of this request andmore than anything else to call us one,
eight hundred, seventh, seven,two, one or two, one,
three or to visit us at ourwebsite in Spanish, at LEUBU,
