About the program

What is the Social Care Network program?

New York’s Social Care Network program helps Medicaid members connect with support for everyday needs that can affect their health, such as food, housing, transportation, and other basic needs.

Through this program, eligible Medicaid members may be screened to see if they qualify for extra support services, including prepared meals or nutrition assistance.

Aspire Meals helps individuals and families complete the first step by checking whether meal support may be available and guiding them through the process.
