A 8433 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Extends current exemptions of income and resources for public assistance programs

This bill extends existing income and resource exemptions for people receiving public assistance programs under the 1997 welfare reform law. It changes the expiration date from August 22, 2025, to August 22, 2027, ensuring current eligibility rules remain in effect. The change directly affects individuals and families enrolled in programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) who rely on these exemptions. The bill does not alter the exemptions themselves but prolongs their current application period by two years.
