Met Council - SNAP Assistance

"Important update for SNAP recipients: New federal work requirements take effect June 1, 2026, and may affect adults ages 18 to 64 who don't have children under 14. If this applies to you, you may need to report work, training, or volunteer hours each month to keep your benefits. Some people may qualify for an exemption. Don't wait to find out if you're affected. Visit nyc.gov/OhSNAP or call 718-762-7669 to learn more and get help." Met Council's Benefits Helpline provides assistance with SNAP and health insurance. To apply, leave a message including your name, number, and ZIP code at 212-453-9532 for a callback within 24 hours. There is no walk-in service at a physical location. Tax services are no longer offered by this line.
