    That stupid whore Hochul.

    he Hochul administration is quietly using taxpayer dollars to gift cash payments to thousands of migrants who don�t qualify for typical welfare assistance, The Post has learned.

    The cash windfall was made possible by the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance modifying its �Safety Net Assistance� program�s eligibility rules in May to include non-citizens with pending applications
    for legal asylum status.

    The announcement was made through an under-the-radar message the agency
    sent out to social services agencies across the state.

    The OTDA declined to reveal how many migrants have received SNA checks,
    but estimates that 90% of New York�s current migrant population won�t see additional benefits under the rule change.

    With more than 173,000 migrants coming to the Big Apple since spring 2022,
    if only 10% of migrants here are eligible for SNA payments, the number of recipients could exceed 17,000 in NYC alone.
