What happened

This is a proposed class action against the City of New York, apparently brought by the Urban Justice Center Safety Net Project. The lawsuit appears to challenge City policies or practices related to safety net programs, based on the caption and civil rights nature of suit. The exact allegations are not detailed in the docket text, but the case likely concerns harm to low-income New Yorkers who depend on public assistance or services.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
