Answer 1

While it is true your benefits from NY will end you can apply for benefits from the state you move to. THey should begin almost immediately. Medicaid or medicare will transfer with you for a certain amunt of time after the move and will give you time to get them going in the new state. Food stamps are the same way. You will have a months worth to live off of while getting the ball rolling in your new state.
