Federal Government Shutdown

Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown and the lack of federal funding, November SNAP benefits have been delayed, and the start of applications for the Home Energy Assistance Program has been delayed until further notice. The Public Assistance program is not affected at this time. For more information, visit: otda.ny.gov/shutdown-resources

Call your member of Congress now to let them know how these cuts would impact you, your family, and your community.
