Online Information About Key Low-Income Benefit Programs
Links to Policy Manuals, Descriptive Information, and Applications for State Food Stamp, TANF, Child Care, Medicaid, and SCHIP Programs
Revised April 27, 2009
Virtually all states have made information regarding the five main state-administered low-income benefit programs — food stamps, Medicaid, SCHIP, TANF and child care — available to the public via the internet. There is significant variation between what online information is provided across states. Some provide a simple description of each program on their agencies websites. Others offer additional information, such as application forms, eligibility screening tools, and policy and procedure manuals used by state agency caseworkers. A number of states allow individuals to apply for certain types of benefits online. This report also provides links to online government benefit screeners and calculators. We have not included benefit screeners or calculators that have been developed and are maintained by non-governmental agencies.
Below are links to online state information provided about these benefit programs. Individuals seeking information about eligibility and benefits in a particular state will find these links a useful place to start. Most state human service agencies also have information numbers where families can seek additional information. In addition, individuals in most states (as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) can call 2-1-1 on any type of telephone and get connected to someone who can help them find out about many kinds of assistance, including emergency help with food, housing or clothing, physical or mental health treatment, assistance for the aged, people with disabilities, and families with children.
The links below also may be useful to those researching variations in states’ policies or applications may find this resource helpful. There are several important caveats to consider when using these resources. First, information may be presented differently across states and states may use different terminology to represent similar concepts or terms. Second, this list was not developed via a comprehensive survey of states and may not be complete. Finally, in some cases it was unclear whether an application for multiple programs, including Medicaid, also served as an application for SCHIP. When it was unclear whether the application served as an SCHIP application, this document does not show the application as including SCHIP.
Please notify Tina Marshall at the Center to update or revise this listing.
