Farm and Food Workers Relief Program Registration - Ulster County
Frontline farm workers and meat packing workers who were employed sometime between January 27, 2020 and May 11, 2023 are eligible to receive a $600 Farm and Food Workers Relief Program payment from the federal government. Although many workers have received this payment already, there are still eligible workers in New York. The window of opportunity to apply for these funds is closing and we want to help you help your workers receive this benefit.
The Agricultural Workforce Development Council of New York State is collaborating with PASA (Pennsylvania Sustainable Agriculture Association) to offer three in-person events in New York State at the end of October where workers can sign up for the program in person. Two of them are in Eastern New York.
- Hudson Valley, NY: October 26 (9-4) at the CCE Ulster County office, 232 Plaza Rd, Kingston, NY 12401
Applicants must provide acceptable (1) photo identification and (2) proof of employment as a farm worker or meatpacking worker within the U.S. and its territories during the period between January 27, 2020 and May 11, 2023.
These are the live links for pre-event applications. Completing paperwork using these links prior to attending the event will expedite the application process in-person. Prior registration also reduces the chances that a person will show up and find out they are not eligible. Employers can sign an affidavit that the worker was employed by them if their employee does not have access to other proof of employment information.
