New York Migrants Receiving Cash Welfare
Payments After Quiet Rule Change

Original Article

Posted By: mc squared, 2/19/2024 3:51:41 PM

The Democrat-controlled state of New York has been quietly handing out cash payments to thousands of migrants under a rule change qualifying non-citizens for welfare. Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) modified its Safety Net Assistance (SNA) program’s parameters in 2023, making migrants who have filled out asylum application forms eligible to receive even more taxpayer dollars. A memo quietly sent out to New York welfare office workers from the Hochul administration on May 12, 2023, carefully revised the standards needed to qualify for SNA, expanding them to include “non-citizens who are considered permanently residing under color of law (PRUCOL).”

Comments:

This will keep the (non) natives quiet for a time but wait until they see NYC prices.
Katy, bar the door.

I want to know if this was simply a “rule change” or was legislation passed and signed to allow this. If it is the former, Princess Kathy needs to be impeached. If it is the latter, the news media, failing to report this despicable ripoff of the NY Taxpayers, needs to be run out of NYS.

The obvious is often overlooked. Cash never gets to the intend recipient - especially in New York. Perhaps the state wants New York muggers to step up their work and scare the unwanted invaders away? Cash. Sure.

Ya'll picked a fine time to unleash your liberal AG and Superior Court Judge. Now that the NY real-estate market saw what happened to Trump, how many are wondering if they are next and if now might not be a good time to pull up stakes and pay taxes in friendlier states. NY needs money more now than ever and yet throttled their golden goose out of spite. I plan to do my part by boycotting any and all products and services from NY.

They give everything away to illegals, yet when I had a family member in New York apply for assistance after having their work hours cut in half thanks to Bidenomics and the had a long term illness; they were denied by the state because they had made too much money the previous year. The state is blind to the plight of their own citizens but lavish all kinds of free stuff on illegals.

Dem Dems keep flipping the script. It’s always Opposite Day for them. Whatever they say, the opposite is the truth. Up is down and black is white. And because Democrats control most of the media, they get to make the truth whatever it is they want it to be. So, after three years living in President Biden’s fantasy world, we finally have fallen through the looking glass with Alice in Wonderland, where nothing is what it is because everything is what it isn’t.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned allies Saturday that an “artificial deficit” of weapons for his country risks giving Russia breathing space, hours after his military chief said he was withdrawing troops from the eastern city of Avdiivka. Zelenskyy spoke to the Munich Security Conference, an annual gathering of security and foreign policy officials. Ukraine is back on the defensive against Russia in the nearly 2-year-old war, hindered by low ammunition supplies and a shortage of personnel. “Ukrainians have proven that we can force Russia to retreat,” he said. “We can get our land back, and (Russian President Vladimir) Putin can lose, and this has already happened more than once on the battlefield.”
