| WHO WE ARE |
The Manhattan Legal Services Public Benefits unit helps people access and retain government benefits so they can maintain enough income to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads.
We assist clients whose government benefits are being wrongfully denied, inaccurately calculated, or improperly terminated.
We represent families and individuals for whom Unemployment Insurance, Food Stamps, Medicaid/Medicare and other public assistance and Safety Net programs are a critical lifeline.
