| Welcome to ACCESS NYC, a free service that identifies and screens for over 30 City, State, and Federal human service benefit programs. You may use this service anonymously or you have the option to create an account. |
| In addition to screening for a number of benefit programs, you may also use ACCESS NYC to apply online for the School Meals program. For all other programs, you will need to take additional steps outside of ACCESS NYC to apply for benefits. ACCESS NYC will help fill out some of the applications to make the process easier and will provide information on Agency office locations that are near you. Please contact the Agencies directly to complete their applications. |
| Keep in mind that there are many other programs that Agencies can review with you that are not yet part of ACCESS NYC. |
| For help with an emergency, please dial 911. To contact a City Agency, or to inquire about other City government services, please dial 311. |

| ACCESS NYC Screening has three steps: |
| Step 1 | In the first step, you can provide general information about your household to get an idea of the kinds of programs which might be available to you. This will take approximately 5 minutes. |
| Step 2 | In the second step, you can enter more detailed information about yourself and your household. ACCESS NYC will then provide more specific information about those programs that might be available to you. This will take approximately 20 minutes. |
| Step 3 | In the final step, ACCESS NYC can help you with the application process. This will take approximately 10 minutes. |
