Am I eligible for assistance from the Department of Social & Health Services?

To determine eligibility for assistance from the Washington State Department of Social & Health Services (DSHS), several factors are considered, including income, household size, and specific program requirements. DSHS offers a range of assistance programs, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Basic Food Program (SNAP), medical assistance, child care subsidies, and more. Eligibility is primarily based on income guidelines that vary by program and family size. Additionally, certain programs may have additional criteria, such as citizenship status or residency requirements. It is recommended to visit the DSHS website or contact their office directly to explore eligibility for specific programs and receive personalized assistance in determining eligibility.
