Intake/Temporary Assistance

Intake - for new Temporary Assistance (TA) and Food Stamp (FS) applications. The TA/FS Intake Unit, in addition to processing all new Temporary Assistance and Food Stamp applications, also processes HEAP applications, Emergency Assistance to Families (EAF), Diversional Payments and is responsible for conducting weekly Orientation sessions for applicants applying for cash benefits.

      Temporary Assistance is temporary help for needy men, women
      and children. If you are unable to work, can't find a job, or your
      job does not pay enough, TA may be able to help you pay for your
      expenses. For more information visit http://www.otda.state.ny.us/main/ta/
      or call the toll-free New York State Temporary Assistance
      Hotline at 1-800-342-3009 or local Social Service office.

      HEAP is Home Energy Assistance Program. HEAP may help you
      pay for Electricity, Propane, Natural Gas, Wood, Oil, Kerosene,
      Coal, or any other heating fuel. HEAP is a federally funded program
      that issues heating benefits to supplement a household's
      annual energy cost. HEAP also offers an emergency benefit for
      households in a heat or heat related energy emergency. Additionally,
      HEAP offers a furnace repair and/or replacement benefit for
      households with inoperable heating equipment.

      Food Stamps is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
      or SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) is a program to help
      you buy food. Whether you live alone or live with others, whether
      you have children or not, sometimes you can't pay all the bills and
      still have enough money to buy food. That's when SNAP/food stamp
      benefits can really help. When you get SNAP/food stamps, you
      will be given an account, like a bank account. You will also get a
      plastic card. Each month, your SNAP/food stamp benefits are put
      into your account. You can use your EBT card at grocery stores,
      convenience stores, markets, and co-ops. You use them the same
      way someone would buy food with a bankcard or a credit card.
      SNAP/food stamps help just when you need it most. But many
      people don't think that they can get SNAP/food stamps. You don't
      have to be on welfare to get SNAP/food stamp benefits. And you
      may be eligible even if you are working. It all depends on your
      income, the money you have saved, and how many people live in
      your household. If you meet certain guidelines, you can get SNAP/
      food stamps.
