Over 1 million families will receive this financial assistance without any need to apply. Each eligible family will receive up to $330 per child. That means a family of 5 could see $1,000 dollars this month for groceries, baby formula, and so much more. Take a minute to hear what this will mean for families across our state from Lisa Chin of Mount Vernon, New York:

Our work is far from over. I'm New York's first mom governor and from expanding tax credits to increasing access to childcare assistance, I’ll never stop fighting to address the cost of living for working parents and help them create a brighter future for their kids. 

Ever Upward, 

Gov. Kathy Hochul
