纽约市上线SNAP与Medicaid福利自查网页：应对联邦工作要求新规，约90万人面临医保中断风险
美国纽约州纽约市市长Zohran Kwame Mamdani于10月27日宣布上线「SNAP与Medicaid资源」网页（NYC.gov/workrules），帮助居民应对联邦福利工作要求新规、判断自己是否符合豁免条件，保住赖以生活的食品援助与医疗保障。市府称，自2027年1月1日起，联邦Medicaid工作要求与新增文件规则可能使约90万纽约人面临失去医保的风险。
新网页通过询问年龄、工作状态、教育等情况，帮助用户判断自己是否属于须满足工作要求的人群、是否可能符合豁免，或需要采取哪些步骤维持资格；页面同时汇总SNAP与Medicaid热线、食物银行、招聘信息、经批准的志愿服务机会与NYC Care低价医疗项目，已失去福利或不符合资格的居民也可从中找到低价或免费医疗与食物援助地点。
市长Mamdani表示：「医疗与营养食物是人人应可负担、可获得的基本必需品。当联邦政府让纽约人把食物端上餐桌、获得医疗变得更难时，我们的政府正在帮助人们保住他们依赖的福利。」负责卫生与公众服务的副市长Helen Arteaga表示，数百万纽约人依赖Medicaid与SNAP，联邦政府应让人们更容易而非更难获得福利；社会服务局局长Erin Dalton说，全市协作已帮助超过22万纽约人避免了因新规失去SNAP，市府将继续用一切工具帮助失去福利者重新登记。纽约市公立医院系统总裁Mitchell Katz提醒，担心失去保险的居民可拨打1-844-NYC-4NYC，财务顾问可协助登记、续保或申请NYC Care。
市府说明，联邦针对无抚养子女健全成年人的扩大版SNAP工作要求已于2026年3月1日生效，许多此前豁免者现须满足要求才能保留福利。作为全市应对的一部分，市长公众参与部门已上门敲门1万户、拨打4万人次一对一电话，市府与100多家社区组织合作提供符合工作要求的志愿与培训机会，为6500多家合作机构举办网络培训、近50场培训课与40多场社区快闪活动；上周市长刚宣布成立健康与可负担资源团队（HART）专门协助居民应对新规。据市府统计，相关工作已把预计失去食品援助的人数减少了65%，超过98%符合资格的SNAP受助人保住了福利。
New York City Launches SNAP and Medicaid Resource Page as Federal Work Rules Put Some 900,000 at Risk of Losing Coverage
New York City Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani on October 27 launched a new SNAP and Medicaid Resources webpage (NYC.gov/workrules) to help New Yorkers navigate new federal work requirements, determine whether they qualify for exemptions, and maintain the food assistance and health care they rely on. The city says new federal Medicaid work requirements and documentation rules taking effect January 1, 2027 could put approximately 900,000 New Yorkers at risk of losing health coverage.
By answering questions about age, work status, education and other circumstances, users can learn whether they may be subject to the requirements, qualify for an exemption, or need to take additional steps to remain eligible. The page also links to SNAP and Medicaid hotlines, food banks, job boards, approved volunteer opportunities and NYC Care; residents who have lost benefits or do not qualify can find low- and no-cost care through NYC Health + Hospitals' NYC Care program and locate food assistance nearby.
"Health care and nutritious food are basic necessities that must be affordable and accessible to everyone," Mayor Mamdani said. "While the federal government makes it harder for New Yorkers to put food on the table and get the health care they need, our administration is helping people keep the benefits they rely on." Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Dr. Helen Arteaga said millions of New Yorkers rely on Medicaid and SNAP and the federal government should make benefits easier, not harder, to receive. Department of Social Services Commissioner Erin Dalton said the citywide effort has kept more than 220,000 New Yorkers from losing SNAP under the new rules and will keep helping those who lost benefits re-enroll. NYC Health + Hospitals President and CEO Dr. Mitchell Katz urged residents worried about coverage to call 1-844-NYC-4NYC, where financial counselors can help with enrollment, renewal or NYC Care.
The city notes that expanded federal SNAP work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents took effect March 1, 2026, and that many previously exempt New Yorkers must now meet them to keep benefits. The administration's citywide response has included 10,000 doors knocked and 40,000 person-to-person phone calls by the Mayor's Public Engagement Unit, partnerships with more than 100 community organizations, webinars for more than 6,500 partners, nearly 50 training sessions and more than 40 pop-up events; last week the mayor launched the Health and Affordability Resource Team (HART) to help residents navigate the changes. The city says its efforts have reduced the number of people projected to lose food assistance by 65%, and that more than 98% of eligible SNAP recipients maintained access to food assistance.
