Need Financial Help to Raise Your Grandchild?Need Financial Help to Raise Your Grandchild?
AARP New York is helping publicize a little-known state grant program for grandparents raising grandchildren-a program used by only an estimated 8 percent of those eligible.
Children being raised by their grandparents or other relatives are eligible for a special public assistance grant that is based solely on the child's income and resources, not the caregiver's. These monthly grants average about $400 for the first child and $150 for each additional child.
To get more information or find out if you are eligible for this grant, visit www.nysnavigator.org or call (877) 454-6463.

Thank you for inquiring about the Child Only Grant. The New York State Navigator is the best way to access information about the grant and other resources for Kin Caregiving. The website is www.nysnavigator.org.
You can also contact the New York State Navigator by telephone: 1-877-454-6463 or email: navigator@nysnavigator.org
