For NYC cases, benefit postings are spread out over 13 different days that are not Sundays or holidays, during the first two weeks of each month.

The actual dates change from one month to the next, so NYC publishes a six-month schedule showing the exact availability dates. This is also based on the last digit of the Case Number.
