An Announcement For Any Resident Of New York City Under SNAP
Any resident of New York City who is under the SNAP Program will receive their last payments for the month of November. The payments are distributed based on specific schedules, with different dates for any resident of New York City under the program.
The maximum amount of benefits that any resident of New York City under the program receives varies, with additional funds allotted for each additional resident of New York City under the program.
The average payment per resident of New York City under the program is $196 per month. Around 14% of New York’s population, amounting to approximately 2.84 million individuals, receives SNAP benefits.
The funds received by any resident of New York City under the program are transferred to a prepaid electronic benefits transfer card called the New York EBT card, which functions like a debit card. Any resident of New York City under the SNAP program can be used at eligible locations such as grocery stores and farmers’ markets.
According to a published article by the Washington Examiner, SNAP benefits are intended for any resident of New York City under the program for purchasing groceries, fresh food, seeds, and plants. However, any resident of New York City under the program cannot use SNAP for nonfood items, tobacco, alcohol, pet food, or prepared meals.
3% Increase
In a published article by AS USA, for November, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will be providing financial assistance in the form of food stamps to needy families.
The benefit amounts have been increased by 3% due to the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA), with the maximum coupon benefits ranging from $291 to $1,751 per month depending on the number of family members. Each state has different payment dates for SNAP benefits, ranging from November 1 to November 28.

Leicester City had one of its most encouraging performances of the season in a 1-1 draw at Manchester United on April 2, in a match that it easily could have won without a few controversial decisions going against it. Next up for Leicester is a return to King Power Stadium on Sunday to face Crystal Palace, which on Monday dominated London rival Arsenal in a 3-0 rout at Selhurst Park.
Palace has a real chance at a top-half finish with a strong end to the campaign in the final eight matches. At this point, it would be deserved given the Eagles have a positive goal and expected goal differences. They have been the considerably better side, and though they’re on the road, they’e not getting enough respect in the betting market.

Crystal Palace has been dramatically better at home than on the road when you look at the underlying numbers. Leicester’s home splits, however, also aren’t particularly impressive. Leicester is allowing 1.67 xGA at home, but has conceded just 1.14 goals per match. Palace can take advantage of its defensive lapses and won’t succumb to Leicester’s attempt to produce high turnovers.
My projection makes Leicester City just a slight favorite of -105 odds on the Draw No Bet wager. The market is showing plenty of respect to the Foxes’ recent form, but the Eagles have been the better team most of the season and can be effective playing without the ball.
The play: Crystal Palace — Draw No Bet (+110 or better)
A Staten Island pol is amassing City Council support to formally demand Mayor Eric Adams rehire the 1,430 municipal employees canned for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Council Minority Leader Joseph Borelli will be introducing a nonbinding resolution at Thursday’s meeting calling on Adams to rehire workers fired in February for failing to meet a vaccine-mandate deadline requiring proof of at least one shot. The resolution, which already has bipartisan backing from at least seven other Council members, also demands private businesses rehire employees who were fired for failing to get jabbed.
The Staten Island Republican told The Post he believes the Council must deliver an apolitical message that it believes Adams’ decision last month to exempt pro athletes and other performers from the mandate is unfair because rank-and-file workers remain unemployed for snubbing the same rules.
“There has to be equity,” Borelli said. “If we’re willing to tolerate risks for athletes and performers, we must tolerate the same risks for all members of our workforce – be it the private sector or public.”
Other Council members on board include Farah Louis (D-Brooklyn) and David Carr (R-Staten Island).

Adams granted the exemption only after fielding pressure from the Brooklyn Nets, Mets and Yankees. The teams lobbied for the change, saying it was unfair that rules Adams inherited from former Mayor Bill de Blasio allowed unvaccinated visiting athletes to play in city venues, but Nets star Kyrie Irving and other city-based unvaccinated athletes couldn’t play home games.
Paul DiGiacamo, president of the Detectives Endowment Association, said he hopes Borelli’s legislation convinces the mayor to rehire the union’s unvaccinated investigators.
“Any detective who left took years of experience with [them],” he said. “The city is in crisis. We need to bring back the detectives.”

More firings could be coming.
Thousands of city workers who applied for medical or religious accommodations or exemptions from the vaccination requirement have yet to get a decision.
Reps for Mayor Adams and Council Speaker Adrienne Adams (D-Queens) said their offices need to review the resolution before commenting.
However, the speaker issued a March 24 statement saying the mayor’s exemption “sends the wrong message that higher-paid workers and celebrities are being valued as more important than our devoted civil servants.”
Big Apple mom Daniela Jampel said on Thursday she’s “extremely confident” she was canned from her city lawyer job for speaking out against masks — but that she will not sue over the ouster.
The first lengthy public statement came days after Jampel, who crashed a City Hall press conference on Monday to call out Mayor Eric Adams for not ending the toddler mask mandate, was subsequently fired from her role as assistant corporation counsel.
“There are 400,000 people who work for the City of New York,” she wrote on Twitter. “Every single one of them deserves the ability, as private citizens, to speak about matters of public concern and regardless of her stance on a given issue.
“I am extremely confident that the decision to terminate my employment was a result of my constitutionally protected speech regarding my views on mask mandates,” she wrote.
City sources have told The Post she was terminated for a since-deleted tweet saying her job as a city attorney entailed defending “cops who lie in court, teachers who molest children, prison guards who beat inmates.”

Still, Jampel, who earlier this week told The Post she had retained counsel, said Thursday she will not sue the city over her termination.
“I am intimately familiar with the litigation process and have decided that I do not want to put my family, friends, and colleagues through a protracted legal battle,” she wrote in her statement.
“My focus continues to be on my family and especially on my children, who continue to suffer from over two years of pandemic restrictions,” she said.
Jampel is a mother of three children, including a toddler in public pre-K, and had been out on maternity leave for the past eight months while speaking out against pandemic-era restrictions.
Adams has said he was told of the Law Department’s decision to can the corporation counsel before she confronted him at Monday’s press conference.
The city Law Department attorney who was fired after confronting Mayor Eric Adams over the kiddie mask mandate had repped Gotham in a slew of high-profile cases before being canned, court records show.
Daniela Jampel — who was booted from her job Monday less than an hour after she crashed an Adams’ press conference to demand he “unmask our toddlers” — had bashed the city when tweeting about her legal work Friday.
That put her solidly in the cross-hairs of higher-ups, who decided the next day she needed to be fired, multiple sources said — after 16 months of her criticizing the city’s pandemic school closures and mask mandates as an activist in her personal time.
Jampel’s embarrassing ambush of Adams was apparently what made them pull the trigger.
“I am an attorney for the city. I have represented cops who lie in court, teachers who molest children, prison guards who beat inmates,” Jampel said Friday in her tweet, which was deleted sometime late Monday.
“It is a job I have done proudly. Until tonight. Fighting to keep masks on toddlers is shameful. I am ashamed of my office,’’ the mom of three said.

State court records indicate Jampel was involved in at least 29 civil lawsuits brought against the city since she started working for the Law Department in 2016. Some of those cases, which are still pending, are similar to the suits she mentioned in her tweet.
In Jan. 2020, Jampel helped defend the city in a Child Victims Act case brought by the parents of a minor who was allegedly sexually abused by Jonathan Pol, a teacher at the Bronx’s Mott Hall Community School, court records show.
The victim’s parents claim their child was “sexually assaulted and battered … on an almost daily basis” by Pol for about five months between December 2018 and May 2019, the documents state.
Pol was later arrested by the NYPD and charged with rape. Both the civil lawsuit and criminal case are still pending, records show.

In June 2020, Jampel was involved in a $350 million wrongful-death suit brought against the city after an unarmed man was shot and killed by NYPD officers during a routine traffic stop in 2019, court records say.
Jampel filed three documents in the case, which was refiled in February 2021 and is still pending.
A review of the records didn’t turn up any public cases involving prison guards who allegedly beat up inmates, but Jampel did defend the city in a lawsuit brought by a man who was allegedly shot by an off-duty correction officer in Brooklyn sometime in 2014, records show.
A Law Department spokesman — asked by The Post on Tuesday whether Jampel’s comments on Twitter could impact any pending litigation — replied, “As attorneys for the city we take seriously our professional and ethical responsibilities.
“We are reviewing this matter fully.”
Jampel has said little publicly since her termination. She sent a brief statement to The Post late Monday saying she has retained counsel and will not “litigate in the press.”
The Big Apple mom who crashed Mayor Eric Adams’ press conference Monday to blast him over his tot mask mandate was fired shortly afterward from her job at the city Law Department, The Post has learned.
Daniela Jampel, who served as an assistant corporation counsel, learned she was canned less than an hour after she confronted a caught-off-guard and apparently annoyed Adams over when he would “unmask our toddlers.”
Jampel had publicly challenged the mayor at an unrelated event on LGBTQ issues — as Adams stood in front of a podium banner that read, “Come to the city where you can say whatever you want.’’
“Three weeks ago, you told parents to trust you that you would unmask our toddlers,” Jampel told the mayor.
“You stood right here, and you said that the masks would come off April 4. That has not happened.”
As Jampel attempted to ask why, City Hall staffers tried to cut her off when they realized she wasn’t a reporter, but Adams, seemingly miffed at the mom getting a question in, allowed her to continue, although he told her she needed to “come to a conclusion.”

“Turn on your phone so you can get my answer correctly but come to a conclusion,” he snipped.
Sources close to the matter said Jampel – a leading local critic of the toddler mask mandate and pandemic school closures – was informed by e-mail shortly after the presser that she was fired.
The Law Department’s spokesman confirmed to The Post that Jampel was terminated Monday, although the rep said the decision to fire her was made “prior to today.

“We hold all of our employees to the highest professional standards. In public statements, Ms. Jampel has made troubling claims about her work for the city Law Department. Based on those statements, the decision had been made to terminate her prior to today,” the spokesman said.
“Today’s events, however, which include her decision to lie to City Hall staff and state she was a journalist at a press conference, demonstrate a disturbing lack of judgment and integrity. As of today, she is no longer an employee of the Law Department.”
Jampel told The Post in a statement, “I am retaining counsel and will not litigate in the press.”
The mother of three had been out on maternity leave for the past eight months while actively speaking out against COVID-19 restrictions in Big Apple schools and is the co-founder of the advocacy group “Keep NYC Schools Open.”
A source familiar with the matter said Jampel appeared to be in good standing with her bosses as recently as mid-February, when one of them approved her request for extended maternity leave.
The higher-up approved her request and said her colleagues were looking forward to working with her again upon her return, the source added.
City sources say the decision to terminate Jampel came Friday after she wrote a tweet criticizing Adams for upholding the toddler mask mandate and said her job with the city entailed defending “cops who lie in court, teachers who molest children, prison guards who beat inmates.”
“It is a job I have done proudly. Until tonight. Fighting to keep masks on toddlers is shameful. I am ashamed of my office,” Jampel wrote.
Monday’s press conference was not the first time Jampel spoke against COVID-19 restrictions, but it was the first time she directly confronted Adams.
The ordeal came after Adams warned city staffers last seek that every single communication from a public agency, even notices as benign as a tree-planting event, must first be approved by City Hall before being released to the press — all part of an effort to control messaging by his administration, Politico reported.
“What is imperative to know is, you are assigned to an agency under a commissioner, but you work for me,” Adams told staffers during a Zoom call, the outlet reported, citing audio it obtained of the meeting.
“The commissioner leads an agency, but I lead the city. I’m the mayor of the city and all communications that come through this city government is coming through my message.”
About two weeks ago, Jampel attended a rally against the toddler mask mandate and was quoted in The Post criticizing Adams for “not following the science.
“This is making a mockery of the science. This is playing us for fools,’’ she said at the time.
“New York state recognizes the science. Everywhere else in New York state — 10 miles away in Nassau County, 10 miles away in Westchester County — toddlers are allowed to take off their masks along with their older brothers and sisters,’’ Jampel added.
But “our mayor and our new health commissioner tell us it’s not safe for toddlers to take off their masks.”
Last March, Jampel penned an op-ed for The Post demanding the city Department of Education end remote learning and bring kids back to school, an issue that made its way into the court system when parents filed suit against the city.
She called the city’s “two-case rule,” which required school buildings to shut down for 10 days if two cases are found within a week, “arbitrary” and wrote that continuous closures were creating “misery and havoc for children.”
Jampel started working for the city’s Law Department in February 2016 and earned about $52 an hour fighting “complex personal injury actions” filed against the Big Apple, including against “toxic tort, motor vehicle, and alleged police misconduct,” according to her LinkedIn profile and public records.
She graduated from Fordham University’s law school in 2008.
Russian forces are in control of large swaths of Mariupol after weeks of siege and bombardment, the city’s mayor Monday.
“Not everything is in our power,” Mayor Vadym Boichenko told CNN Monday. “Unfortunately, we are in the hands of the occupiers today.”
Boichenko said fewer than half of the city’s peacetime residents remained.
“According to our estimates, about 160,000 people are in the besieged city of Mariupol today, where it is impossible to live because there is no water, no electricity, no heat, no connection,” he said. “And it’s really scary.”
The apparent loss of Mariupol comes after nearly a month of heavy bombardment, and days of fierce street fighting.
The southern port city on the coast of the Sea of Azov has been the target of Russian ambitions since the start of the invasion last month, part of an effort to connect Russian forces in Crimea with forces in the separatist Donbas region to create one single front in Ukraine’s south.
In the process, the Kremlin has cut the city off from power, water and food, while shelling it from land and sea.
Alina Beskrovna, a Mariupol resident who escaped the city in a convoy of cars and made it to Poland, said that people in the city were melting snow for water and cooking on open fires despite the risk of bombardment, “because if you don’t, you will have nothing to eat.”

“A lot of people are just, I think, starving to death in their apartments right now with no help,” she said. “It’s a mass murder that’s happening at the hands of the Russians.”
Russian actions in Mariupol have drawn stern condemnation from the international community.
A maternity ward was destroyed in a Russian airstrike on Mariupol earlier this month.

Some 300 people were killed a week later when Russian forces bombed a theater that was serving as a civilian shelter. The theater was marked with large letters spelling “children” in Russian.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinkin cited both attacks when he accused Russian forces of war crimes last week.
The apparent fall of Mariupol comes after a string of successes by the Ukrainian forces, who claim to have taken back suburbs around the capital city of Kyiv as well as Trostyanets, a town south of Sumy in the country’s northeast.
Ukrainian forces also broke the Russian’s hold on Kherson, north of the Crimean Peninsula, last week, though it is unclear if the Ukrainian forces have taken total control of the city.
“We don’t even have to talk about the fact that I’m not allowed back in that hotel.”
Taika Waititi had the audience cracking up at the 59th Annual ICG Publicists Awards on Friday night as he made fun of all their hard work trying to take care of his fellow Hollywood elites, whom he described as “very annoying” and “immature idiots.”
The “Thor” and “Jojo Rabbit” director was on hand to accept the Television Showpersons of the Year award for his Indigenous FX on Hulu series “Reservation Dogs,” alongside co-creator Sterlin Harjo.

Things started off pretty straight, as Waititi spoke about the significance of their series, per The Hollywood Reporter. “We wanted to make a Native show that exemplified the authentic humorous stories we have shared throughout our nearly 20 years of friendship,” Waititi said, referring to Harjo.
“We wanted to bring these Indigenous stories to the forefront to see people that looked like us on screen, but you can’t just write and shoot a show and then call it a day. We need people who will work hard to make sure our work reaches a wider audience, and that is where people like you come in.”
From there, though, Waititi went off the rails a bit, fully acknowledging that publicists do far more than just help publicize their clients’ latest projects. Remember that time I was… Ah, we don’t have to talk about that. We don’t have to talk about the fact that I’m not allowed back in that hotel,” he joked, without offering any specifics.
The Oscar-winner was forced to endure two weeks in quarantine with his young daughters in New Zealand, sharing that his daughters certainly made a mess of the room on Instagram. But he courted far more headlines in July 2021 when he was caught on a hotel balcony by The Daily Mail getting very cozy with both girlfriend Rita Ora and Tessa Thompson after a night of partying.

“There’s plenty more hotels. How did you find me in that hotel?” he mused. “I’ve always wondered that. I never told anyone I was going there, but [you] found me at 10 in the morning. Incredible! I love you guys. I didn’t want to leave it, though. I didn’t want to leave — [I’m] a little bit angry.”
He also acknowledged that celebrities like him can be a little demanding and needy. “You’re very decent to people like us who are very frustrating. I know you know, we’re like, ‘Oh, can I get a plus 18 to that party tonight?’” he added. “I get it. I get it, we’re annoying, and you guys are very supportive.”
He even made a goofy face, sticking his tongue out, saying that he knows that’s probably the face most of the publicists in that room have made on more than one occasion while talking to one of their famous clients.
“Hollywood is just a city full of immature idiots, and you guys are a bunch of very hardworking patient parents. We all love you,” he concluded, before throwing in one last very little, minor, no-big-deal demand.
“I do need to talk to you about this party I want to get into this weekend,” he smiled. “It’s got a good gift bag!”
