GIS 05 TA/DC027 issued on September 2, 2005, provided guidance to local social services districts on the provision of assistance to meet immediate and emergency needs through emergency temporary assistance programs, Food Stamp benefits and Medicaid for displaced citizens from Hurricane Katrina. Many of these individuals and families may remain in New York for up to 24 months on a temporary basis and some may decide to relocate permanently to New York State. The purpose of this GIS is to provide further guidance to local social services districts on meeting the needs of these individuals and families who apply for recurring assistance (Family Assistance, Safety Net Assistance, Food Stamp Benefits and Medicaid).
