How to Apply for Welfare

Welfare programs can help individuals and families in times of crisis. The application process is basic, but it requires time and energy.


Step1
Call your local Employment and Human Services office, listed in the government pages of your phone book. (In some places, you will need to look up "Social Services" or just "Human Services.")


Step2
Set an appointment to meet with a case worker and attend an orientation.


Step3
Discuss the various welfare programs with your case worker. Decide which programs you need.


Step4
Ask for emergency assistance if you are homeless.


Step5
Get a list of things you need to gather for the next appointment.


Step6
Apply for any documents or statements you lack.


Step7
Take the appropriate information with you to your appointment. The case worker will let you know if more information is needed.


Step8
Ask for a time frame on the results of your application.


Step9
Call your case worker with questions or concerns.
