New York State's OTDA helps families facing financial hardship with emergency assistance and essential benefits. They provide SNAP food benefits, HEAP energy assistance to help pay heating and cooling bills, Temporary Assistance cash benefits, Medicaid health coverage, and disability benefits. Families dealing with childhood cancer can access emergency financial help when facing utility shutoffs or running out of fuel.
The agency also administers the Empire State Child Credit, giving families up to $1,000 per child with no impact on other benefits. You can get this money even if you don't normally file taxes or have no income. They offer services in multiple languages and have local offices throughout New York state to help families apply for and manage their benefits.
