New York City is due to finally receive the remaining $106 million in migrant crisis reimbursements allocated by the federal government after submitting certain paperwork last week, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer’s office confirmed to amNewYork Metro.

However, Mayor Eric Adams’ team insists that the feds are simply removing a hold so they can start accepting and processing reimbursement paperwork submitted by the city. While that’s a step forward, they say, it does not mean the funds are being released immediately.
