Federal Government Shutdown

Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown and the lack of federal funding, the start of applications for the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) has been delayed until further notice. The shutdown is not yet affecting other programs overseen by the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance — including Public Assistance and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Applications for Public Assistance and SNAP are continuing to be accepted, benefits are being provided, and use of benefit cards are not impacted at this time. If the shutdown continues into November, benefits for SNAP could be delayed. This message will be updated as additional information becomes available.

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

Description:

The purpose of SORP is to provide activities that support integration and wellness for older refugees, including gaining access to mainstream services within their respective communities so that they may live independently for a longer period of time. An additional program goal is to help older refugees to become naturalized United States (US) citizens, so that they may receive federal benefits such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
