You should contact your local department of social services, and pursue getting Medicaid for them (as well as SNAP and TANF).  U4U beneficiaries are almost always eligible for these (although it may take sustained efforts on your part to break through layers of people who don't know or don't go outside their mental box).   There is no reason it can't be resolved quickly and favorably.

 

If Medicaid (for some reason that I can't imagine) is denied, you can then pursue coverage through the health insurance Marketplace (AKA Obamacare).  https://www.healthcare.gov/get-coverage/

Apologies, I missed your post earlier. Thank you for the info, very helpful!

They are probably eligible for Medicaid the Federal/State program. I think it is called Oregon Health Plan (OHP) in Oregon.

Thank you! That's what I thought too, will look into applying for it. 

Sorry if this was already addressed before, but what is everyone doing for health insurance? My beneficiary settled in Portland, Oregon. They have some chronic medial conditions, don't know the full extent but it will require some serious diagnostics and treatment. 

My beneficiary just received travel authorization - same day after submitting the form. Now I got the following message in my USCIS account:

Travel Authorization Decision Posted

On July 22, 2022, we received your travel authorization decision from CBP for Receipt Number [xxx]. Please log into your USCIS online account and follow the instructions.

I am not sure what this means - I am logged into my USCIS account and I don't see any instructions. Do others get this as well? Is there any action on my end, or can my beneficiary simply travel to the US with the issued travel authorization letter and passport?
