#NYSOCFS Commissioner Harris-Madden proudly joined Governor Kathy Hochul and NYS leaders for the 2025 Interfaith Reception. The event served as a powerful reminder that every New Yorker deserves to feel safe and supported, regardless of their faith or background.

Drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1-4 and the second leading cause for children ages 5-14. As we enjoy the beauty and fun of water activities, let's prioritize child supervision to prevent unintentional drowning. #NYSWIMS #NYSOCFS 🔗ocfs.ny.gov/programs/child…

From diapers to school supplies to new clothes, when you’re raising a family, every little thing adds up. That’s why we expanded the child tax credit. It'll put up to $1,000 per child back in the pockets of millions of New York families and make life a little easier.
