Apply For Assistance

Before you get started, please read this information:

* Apply For Assistance

You do not have to give a Social Security number for people who are not asking for help. If you are applying for Child Care Services only, you do not have to give a Social Security number for anyone on this application.

If you are applying for Energy Assistance, Health Care Coverage and Other Medicaid Programs, SNAP (Food Assistance) or Temporary Cash Assistance for Families with Minor Children (TANF), or assistance from the Percentage of Income Payment Program (PIPP), you must give information that verifies citizenship or immigration status.

Information about the people in your home will be used to help the local agency determine if you are eligible to receive benefits. If you do not have this information, or if you do not provide it, your application could be denied. Your local agency will give you more details. Your local agency's phone number and address will show after you submit your application.

For questions about Health Care Coverage (Medicaid or FAMIS), you may call Cover Virginia toll free at 1-855-242-8282 (TDD#1-888-221-1590 for hearing impaired). Please click one of the buttons to tell us what you would like to do. Then click the NEXT button at the bottom of the page. Please note: You need to start a new application even if you did the screening, labeled "Am I Eligible?".
