Temporary Assistance is temporary financial help for needy families or individuals. There are several kinds of assistance, Family Assistance (FA ) and Safety Net Assistance (SNA), Emergency Aid to Families (EAF) and other programs.
Family Assistance is for families with a minor child in the household. You can receive TA for up to 60 months throughout your lifetime.
There are several types of Medical Assistance available: Medicaid, Child Health Plus, Family Planning and Medicare Savings Program. Eligibilty for a program depends on your income. Your caseworker will determine what you are eligible for from the information you supply on the application.
Children are entitled to financial support from both parents. Under New York law, a parent is to provide financial support for a child until the age of 21. Even if the parents were never married or ever lived with the child, they are obligated to provide support. Any parent who does not live with their child may be ordered to pay support.
