More than 53,000 New Yorkers are allegedly facing delays regarding eligibility for benefits. Zaineb Salem was surprised to learn in April 2022 that she was no longer eligible for the cash assistance she’d been receiving from New York state. Salem, who has two young children, was not working at the time, because she was taking care of her disabled mother and undergoing mental health treatment after leaving a relationship. She’d been receiving roughly $700 a month in rental and cash assistance since her breakup the previous fall.
