N.Y. providing food assistance to low-income families for each child at $120

According to Hochul, the state of New York has already begun providing aid to almost 1.5 million children.

She also mentioned that almost 2 million children should qualify for assistance. “Children are going hungry in a state as wealthy as New York, and when kids grow up hungry, they can face not just that immediate sense of yearning and feeling unsatisfied, but also a distraction, because they can’t focus,” the governor stated.

“It can also result in a decade of health issues.” “No child should ever go without food because the cost of living was simply too expensive for their families and parents.”

The majority of eligible kids, including those on Medicaid, SNAP, or Temporary Assistance, will automatically be eligible for Summer EBT payments.
