What a great resource. Thank you!
As new SNAP and Medicaid work requirements take effect, we’re launching our United for Benefits Access website designed to give community-based organizations and individuals clear, practical information to understand and respond to changes affecting these critical benefits.
Within the site, you’ll be able to explore the SNAP Resources Hub, which includes practical guidance on exemptions, qualifying activities, reporting hours, volunteer opportunities, and what to do if benefits have already stopped.
Millions of New Yorkers could face new hurdles to accessing their essential benefits. United Way of New York City is taking action to help families prepare and connect to the support they need by mobilizing partners across the city through our United for Benefits Access initiative.
This work is made possible by the generous support and partnership of the Altman Foundation, Trinity Church NYC, and SOMOS Community Care
Together, we’re uniting partners and resources around one goal: helping New Yorkers keep the benefits they rely on.
