Full Description:

Provides services such as:

Temporary Assistance

There are two main Cash Assistance programs that provide money for basic living expenses.

Family Assistance (FA) is for needy households containing children, and is funded 50% by the Federal government for up to 5 years in a person's lifetime. The remaining 50% is split equally between the State and Local government.

Assistance (SNA) is for needy individuals or childless couples. SNA is funded 50% by the State and 50% by the local government. There is no lifetime limit. In addition, a family that uses their 5-year FA benefit becomes automatically eligible for SNA. In Cayuga County, a household of four typically will receive no more than $667.00 per month to pay all their living expenses. If the family has any earned income, they receive less.

Food Stamps
Food Stamps is a Federal nutrition assistance program which helps low-income households meet their nutritional needs. A family of four with no income could receive at most $434.00 in Food Stamps. The same family could earn up to $1,800.00 a month and still receive some Food Stamps. WIC is also available to many families and can supplement Food Stamps.


HEAP
The Home Energy Assistance Program is federally funded program that helps low-income households pay their home energy costs. Heap is usually available from November through April.

Tips For Prompt And Professional Assistance
1. Make an appointment - Always attempt to make an appointment. Oftentimes this will save you hours waiting in lines. When on the phone make sure you ask for the documentation needed in order to receive assistance.

2. Do not be late for your appointment - This tip should speak for itself.

3. Dress appropriately - If you want to be treated with respect, dress as appropriately as possible. We are not saying wear a suit. Just make sure you and your clothes are clean and non offensive. We have found that clients who dress in this manner have a better chance of receiving aid.

4. Bring all pre determined documentation - Bring all of the documents you were advised to bring from your appointment phone call. Without them, you will not receive aid.
