🗣️ Congress passed a continuing resolution that funds #WIC fully until December 11, but we still need them to fully fund WIC through the rest of FY27 AND make virtual services permanent.
❗️ Take Action today!: bit.ly/fundwic27

This National School Lunch Week, we applaud NYS' continued investment in food access for students & affordability for families through universal free school meals. UFSM offers meaningful relief—an estimated $165 per child per month in grocery costs. #NSLW26 #Meals4AllNY
SNAP participants who lost their benefits due to the ABAWD time limit may be eligible again.
NYS began a new 36-month ABAWD tracking period on 10/1/26. Anyone who lost benefits due to the ABAWD rule before Oct. 1 can reapply or ask to be added back to their household's case.
If otherwise eligible, they can receive benefits for another three months or potentially longer if they can comply with the ABAWD rule or document an exemption.

Summer EBT benefits aren’t meant to sit on the shelf! They expire 122 days after issuance. Stock up on nutritious foods your kids will love before benefits expire. Check your expiration date at on.ny.gov/4h4e75A. @NewYorkHunger
We applaud @RepRitchie & @RepGraceMeng for leading a NYS House Delegation letter to ensure all states receive the SNAP cost-shift 2-year delay. Unless Congress acts, NY taxpayers will soon face a $1.2B penalty even though the state's SNAP payment accuracy has improved.
Our message is simple: Congress must extend the SNAP cost-shift delay to all states, not just those with the highest payment error rates.
