This session will provide attendees with an opportunity to ask questions about non-citizen eligibility for public benefits rules, barriers non-citizens face when applying for Cash Assistance and SNAP from NYC HRA and tips for overcoming them, and common concerns raised by non-citizen clients, including public charge, sponsor deeming and sponsor liability, confidentiality, and social security numbers.

Hepatitis C is caused by a virus that can damage the liver, leading to cirrhosis, liver failure, and even liver cancer. People who share equipment to inject drugs and/or hormones and steroids are at a higher risk of infection. While there is no vaccine, important steps can be taken to minimize risk and provide a cure. Please join the team at the Hepatitis C Mentor and Support Group (HCMSG) for an introduction to the Basics of Hepatitis C.
