As part of the assistance, the state is sending $120 per child to eligible families to help pay for healthy meals.
Gov. Kathy Hochul on Thursday announced the state has issued nearly $200 million in food assistance to more than 1.5 million low-income children."Having access to healthy, nutritious food is essential for children's health and well-being," Hochul said. "As New York continues putting money back in the pockets of working families, we've already begun sending food assistance to more than 1.
"No child should ever go hungry, which is why I fought to secure federal funding for the Summer EBT program," added Sen. Chuck Schumer. "Summer is often the time of year when food insecurity is highest for children and this assistance for families comes just in the nick of time for New Yorkers." Eligible children will be receiving EBT food benefits on an EBT card that their families can use equivalent to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. Some eligible families have already begun to receive this assistance and the benefits will continue to be sent in the coming weeks before school begins.
