As OTDA announced late this afternoon, New York State is completing the necessary steps to issue full November SNAP benefits to all eligible households. This is in response to a U.S. District Court ruling on November 6, 2025 directing the federal government to issue full November SNAP benefit payments to eligible households.
OTDA expects to begin issuing November SNAP benefits this weekend and some New Yorkers could have access to their benefits as soon as Sunday, November 9.
As we shared earlier this afternoon, on Monday, November 10th at 3:30 PM, DSS Commissioner Molly Wasow Park, HRA Administrator Scott French, and other agency leadership will hold a briefing call to discuss this and share other important information. Please register here if you have not already done so.
As this is a rapidly changing landscape, we will continue to share information as it is available and look forward to sharing more information on Monday.
Thank you for all that you do to help New Yorkers every day.
Sincerely,
