Who we are

Apply Anyway is published by Apply Anyway LLC.

What this app is

Apply Anyway is an unofficial NYC guide for food stamps and cash help. It is not the city site. We do not file your case. We do not ask for your Social Security number.

What stays on your phone

Numbers you type in Check, and words you type in Letters, stay on this device. We do not have an account. We do not have a server that keeps your numbers.

We do not collect Social Security numbers, EBT numbers, PINs, bank logins, or photos of your ID.

What we do not do

No ads
No account
No location
No contacts, camera, or microphone
We do not sell your information

This website

This website does not use an account. It does not run ads. It does not ask for your Social Security number. Do not email us case details, EBT numbers, or photos of ID.

ACCESS HRA and other sites

When you tap Apply, you leave this app and go to NYC’s site (nyc.gov/accesshra). That site has its own rules. We cannot see what you type there.

Kids

This guide is for adults applying for a household. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Your choices

You can apply on ACCESS HRA without this app.
Uninstall the app to remove numbers you typed.
Email applyanywayllc@gmail.com to ask a privacy question.

This page is only for Apply Anyway. It is not for HRA, ACCESS HRA, OTDA, or USDA.
