NCTFA and the Hispanic Federation to Provide Relief Payments to Farm Workers at CT NOFA Winter Conference

ATTENTION FARM WORKERS!

You might be eligible to receive a $600 payment at the CT NOFA winter conference!

The New CT Farmer Alliance (NCTFA) is working with the Hispanic Federation to distribute one-time $600 payments to farm workers who worked on food-producing farms in Connecticut during the covid-19 pandemic. NCTFA will be tabling at this year’s CT NOFA winter conference to help folks apply for this money.

2. Can provide proof of ID  (passport, drivers license, etc. Can be from any country.)
3. Can provide proof of employment (this could be a W2, a paystub, a contract, an H2A visa…must be DATED to show that worker worked during the pandemic period)
4. Had ANY pandemic related expenses (i.e. masks, tests, etc)
5. Have not already applied through a different organization (for example, PASA sustainable agriculture)
6. Farm owners are not eligible.
