NYC Residents Collected a Stunning $2.6 BILLION in Welfare Payments Last Year – 71 Percent Increase Since 2022​

New York City residents collected $2.6 billion in welfare payments in 2025, and that was before Zohran Mamdani took office. Do you think that number will go up or down now that he is running the city?

The $2.6 billion figure represents a 71 percent increase in payments since 2022.
New York City doled out more than $2.6 billion in cash assistance to city residents in 2025, a Fox News Digital review of city records showed.
The money reached a record 864,999 people, a 30-year high not matched since before former Mayor Rudy Giuliani instituted major welfare reform in the early 2000s.

When coupled with payments from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the city paid out more than $7 billion in welfare to residents in 2024, according to a Fox News analysis of data from the city’s Human Resources Administration (HRA).

“This is only going to get worse as the Democratic Socialists of America ramp up their tax-the-rich rhetoric and drive even more jobs out of the city. With every job they force out, the far left gets one more person dependent on them. It’s all part of the plan.”

Ho Lee Cow! A 71% increase since 2022. It's expensive to feed all the illegal turd world newcomers. I suppose a 71% increase is a given, being that New York is a sanctuary state that caters to illegal turd world invaders.

The Democrats opened the southern border in 2021. Then the New York government laid out the red carpet, put out the welcome mat. And here we are.

Its kind of funny that many of us have wanted NYC to be separated from NYS for years.
When the topic comes up, I tell people not to worry, the city will destroy itself eventually.
I stand by this belief.

In fact, 92 percent of direct spending on public welfare occurred at the state level in 2021. In 38 states, local direct spending on public welfare accounted for less than 5 percent of total state and local public welfare spending, and in no state did local direct spending account for more than 20 percent. In 2021, the highest shares of local direct spending on public welfare were in New York (17 percent) and California (16 percent).
As a result, in 2021, public welfare spending accounted for nearly half of state government direct expenditures (45 percent) but a small share of local government direct expenditures (4 percent).

It can’t happen quick enough. Here’s hoping the Socialist wanna be rapper / now mayor, hastens it’s demise at a more rapid pace.

Why are tax dollars going to anyone who isn't working?
Tax is for infrastructure, maintenance, dpw, fire, police, prison, national Guard/ military share, the 3 parts of gov at state lvl..
Not wick, snap, schmap, crap, welfare, etc.. That is the parents job, charities job.

More importantly; where are your tax dollars going? Last I heard NYS can’t account for them.

The more Mundy destroys NYC's economy the more pressure there will be to split if off from NYS. And the more justification!

We should be rooting for the commie asshat.
