The City launched a citywide “Money in Your Pocket” initiative to help New Yorkers screen for or learn about more than 70 city, state, and federal benefit programs. 

In addition, staff from across city government and The City University of New York students will begin to visit more than 20 underserved neighborhoods and New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) buildings on a weekly basis to help thousands of New Yorkers find out which benefits they may be eligible to receive.

You can use the online Money in Your Pocket Guide to easily view and understand programs that you may be eligible for. The website directly links to eligibility requirements and relevant applications over 40 of the benefits.
