BenefitsNYC: Center for Medical and Social Benefits - Simplifying Access to Essential Support for Our Community
Navigating the complex systems for essential benefits like Medicaid, disability support, or specialized children’s services in New York City can be incredibly confusing and stressful. BenefitsNYC, operating as the Center for Medical and Social Benefits, was founded in 2010 in Brooklyn with a clear purpose: to cut through the red tape and provide expert, personalized guidance to individuals and families needing help.
We saw our neighbors struggling to access the support they were entitled to due to complex rules, language barriers, and lack of clear direction. Our mission became to empower residents, particularly within the Brooklyn and New York Community, with the knowledge and assistance needed to secure vital benefits through the dedicated services offered by our Center.
