About this app

ACCESS HRA mobile - your benefits on-the-go!

View Case Details and EBT Balances
The Cases section of the app lets you view the current status of your SNAP or Cash Assistance case, the EBT balance for each of your benefits, and any upcoming Recertification dates. You can also track your Fair Fares NYC discount status, your Fair Fares NYC renewal period, or Access-A-Ride status.

View Appointments
The Appointment section of the app lets you view appointments that are upcoming, missed, or completed. It also lets you add a reminder for your appointment to your phone or tablet.

View Payments
The Payments section of the app lets you view upcoming and past payments for your case, such as payments made to your landlord, utility company, or to your EBT card.

Required Documents
The Required Documents section will show you a list of the documents that you need to return to the agency to support an application, recertification, periodic report or special grant request. You can take a photo of each document or select an image from your camera roll straight from this list. Your history of documents that you have uploaded can be seen on the My Uploads screen. Each document will stay on the list for 100 days.

Note: Uploaded documents must be of good quality for the Agency to review. Submitting documents does not mean that your documents prove the eligibility factor. Please visit the My Documents section to check if the Agency accepted the documents you submitted. Only documents that are listed in the My Documents section were accepted by the Agency.

View Accepted Documents
The Documents section of the app lets you view a list of documents the Agency received from you about your case. Each document that you submit and is accepted by the Agency stays on the list for 60 days from the date it was accepted.

Profile Information
The Profile section of the app provides you with the contact information and notification preferences you have previously provided to the agency. If you have a CA or SNAP case, you can only update your profile every 24 hours. If you are only a Fair Fares NYC client, you can update your profile as often as you need.

Additional Information
You can also get real-time notifications on your smartphone about your case, such as when your case ‘Recertification’ is due, confirmation of an online application submission, upcoming appointments, required documentation and E-notices.

ACCESS HRA mobile is available in English, Spanish, Arabic, French, Korean, Russian, and Simplified Chinese.

This app is very annoying. I need to show income information and I can't upload the images I have of them. Why can't we select a different location on the device and upload the PDF files themselves. I am applying for a housing voucher and this is really wasting my time. It stays locked on social media image folders only, that makes no sense. Taking photos with other documents is broken. This app needs to be overhauled and completely redone. Leave it to NYC to make convinience inconvinient.

EDIT: shortly after I posted this and received a response, I found that I was once again able to install this app to my phone. THANK YOU!! I was forced to uninstall this app because apparently it's "no longer compatible with my device". I have a very common Samsing Android phone, how in the hell could it not be compatible?? This is ridiculous, especially since it's the only way to upload documents. I'm furious right now. Wish I could give zero stars.

The website tells you that this is the only way to submit documents, but do not allow you to upload PDFs or any other format, and you can not use any folder other than your primary photos folder. I realized that this may be extremely biased against Androids, but either way, what a joke. Who made this app a 4 grade software student? (no offense to 4 graders). Looking through the comments, it seems as if this has been the issue for YEARS and zero improvement. I'm disappointed but not surprised.
