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
