Vice President Joe Biden has announced that the Obama administration is working to help Holocaust survivors in the United States, many of whom live in poverty, according to The Associated Press (AP).
This is done by coordinating assistance, working with aid groups and using diplomatic means to help recover property confiscated during the Nazi era, the Vice President said.
Biden announced the effort this week in a speech to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. The administration says 100,000 Holocaust survivors are in the United States, and 25 percent live below the poverty level.
Biden said, according to AP, that a “special envoy” to the Health and Human Services Department will help non-profit groups provide survivors with needed services, as will AmeriCorps and VISTA volunteers.
He said the administration will work with the World Jewish Restitution Organizations to help resolve property claims, especially in Eastern and Central Europe.
Last May, a bipartisan group of United Sates lawmakers introduced a billthat would facilitate assistance for Holocaust survivors.
The legislation would add survivors to a priority list for social services outlined in the Older Americans Act.
The sponsors of the initiative, called the RUSH Act (Responding to the Urgent needs of Survivors of the Holocaust), worked with members of the Jewish Federations of North America to develop the legislation, calling upon their expertise on this vulnerable community.
Holocaust survivors in Israel have also suffered from poverty and a shortage in financial aid.
Finance Minister Yair Lapid announced in May that he would support legislation to allow additional Holocaust survivors to receive home nursing care from the state. The program would cost the state tens of millions of shekels a year.
In April, Lapid announced that Israel will put another 100 million shekels per year toward care for Holocaust survivors. In total, an extra 400 million will go toward care for survivors until 2017.
Most recently, the German government agreed to expand its funding of home care for Holocaust survivors and relax eligibility criteria for restitution programs.
The agreement, which was reached after negotiations in Israel with the Claims Conference, will result in approximately $800 million in new funding for home care, including medicine and food, for Holocaust survivors from 2014 to 2017.
The funding will be received by 56,000 survivors in 46 countries. A third of these survivors – 22,000 – are Israelis.

Leave it to Biden to find a way to scam more money for the Holohoax.
These jew bastards get more money from our stolen tax dollars and the elected people want to give them more. If these people need money let the other jews give to them.
Yeah this bastards math is good.
$800 Million, so basically 320 / 800 = 2.5 Million dollars for Every Man woman and Child in the US!
Shall we add the other 400 Million in?
Or how about healthcrap.gov @ 750 million?
or in PLAIN English 2.3 MIllion dollars for every man woman and child in the US.
Jewish, World Almanac, and European census figures for 1938 & 1947 are all the same. But let me quote the census figures from “Jewish” sources. The 1938 total world pop. of Jews was 15,250,000 approx; 1947 total world pop. of Jews was 15, 750,000 approx. Then someone got wise and they tried to bury these figures as they developed the Holohoax.
The International Red Cross, which was given total unrestricted access to all the German prison camps and all personal, including private interviews and access to all records, documented that approx 270,000 Jews died in the camps, most from typhoid, as the Allies and Americans bombed everything that moved in Germany the last few years of the war preventing food and medical supplies from reaching the camps and even German soldiers.
My mother who was a captured Dutch Resistance Fighter, spent two years in Buchenwald, the Labor Camps and the prison camp near Nuremburg, two years total and my father who liberated some of the camps with the Canadian soldiers, both said there were no ovens or gas chambers, but that this was a rumor being spread, much after the war.
Note also that at the end of the war hundreds of thousands of Jews “flocked” to Germany, as even Gen. Patton mentions in his letters to his wife. These Jews seen “opportunity” and were never in the camps – but now claim survivor benefits.
“The administration says 100,000 Holocaust survivors are in the United States, and 25 percent live below the poverty level.
Bull.
“Holocaust survivors in Israel have also suffered from poverty and a shortage in financial aid.”
More bull.
“Most recently, the German government agreed to expand its funding of home care for Holocaust survivors and relax eligibility criteria for restitution programs.”
Apparently they like it with no Vaseline.
