Emergency Assistance to Adults (EAA) - Overview - Benefits Plus Emergency Assistance to Adults (EAA) In conjunction with the implementation of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program in January 1974, New York State established the Emergency Assistance for Adults (EAA) program to meet the emergency needs of NYS’ aged, blind and disabled population that cannot be met by a recipient’s basic SSI cash benefit.
The EAA Program was originally approved on a temporary basis with the expectation that the federal government would take responsibility for the emergency needs of the SSI population. Since the federal government failed to act in this area, New York State continued to reauthorize EAA for one to two year extensions until 1990 when New York made the EAA program permanent.
EAA is administered by the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) and administered locally in NYC by the New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA). EAA is primarily financed by New York State and local funds.

On September 16, 2026, the First Circuit granted HUD an emergency stay of the order that had erased the FY2026 Continuum of Care competition. HUD reopened e-snaps on September 18 with a September 30, 8:00 PM ET deadline, one technical correction shortening applicant notification from 15 days to 7, and a waiver letting private nonprofits administer rental assistance. Here is what the stay does and does not decide, why your award may still be provisional, and the exact sequence to run in the days you have left.
