State expands SNAP food program
“Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has announced actions aimed at reducing food insecurity among community college students, older adults and disabled New Yorkers, including expanding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamp) eligibility to up to nearly 75,000 low-income college students enrolled in career or technical education course work and shortening the SNAP application for those on fixed incomes, particularly for eligible older adults and disabled individuals.”
