Provides public assistance for home internet service

This bill amends New York's social services law to include home internet service payments as a covered expense in public assistance programs. It directly affects low-income individuals and families receiving state aid by allowing them to use their monthly benefits to cover home internet costs, alongside existing items like shelter and heating. The key mechanism adds "home internet service" to the list of allowable expenses in the standard of need, ensuring these costs are factored into assistance calculations without requiring additional income. This change expands existing public assistance to address digital access needs for eligible households.
