How do I sign up for public benefits in New York?

MyBenefits is an online portal for New Yorkers to apply for and access benefit programs, including SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), Medicaid, Temporary Assistance, and more. If you qualify, these benefit programs help with your basic needs, like food, health care, cash, and housing.

You can create an account and begin the application process for the benefits on the MyBenefits website. Put in your information, upload necessary documents, and track the progress of your application. If you are signed up for benefits already, you can access information about your benefits, view notices, and report changes to your circumstances.
