Struggling New York Families Will Get Some Help With School Costs With A $44,4 Million State Pandemic Relief Grant. PIX11.

The Pandemic Emergency Relief Fund will provide New Yorkers receiving public assistance with a one-time payment of $214 for each child ages 3 to 17, plus $150 for each child under 3. Funds will be distributed through the Temporary and Disability Assistance Administration (OTDA).

In total, the agency will distribute about $39,3 million, which will provide benefits to approximately 184 children. The governor's office said payments began on August 12.

According to Governor Kathy Hokul's office, payments of $150 per child under age 3 are intended to cover the cost of baby food. OTDA plans to provide just over $5 million to approximately 34 eligible children.

“Hard-working New York families are still feeling the economic toll from the COVID-19 pandemic,” Hokul said. "New Yorkers are gearing up to send their kids back to school this fall, and these one-time payments will help needy families across the state pay for educational supplies and other expenses that could otherwise put a strain on their family budget."

The Pandemic Emergency Relief Fund was created under the American Plan of Rescue Act of 2021. It is designed to help low-income families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Under federal regulations, the funding must be used to provide one-time benefits to affected households with children to address a specific short-term situation or need.

Public Assistance provides monthly grants to help low-income individuals and families meet basic needs. More than 500 New Yorkers who may be temporarily unemployed or unable to work, as well as workers with very low wages and their children receive benefits.
