How We Can Help
The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) oversees public benefit programs that support families and individuals with food, health care, income assistance, child care, and more.
Our office can assist you by:
Helping you understand or check the status of your application
Assisting with SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, and child care assistance applications
Navigating benefit renewals and redeterminations
Clarifying document requirements
Coordinating with caseworkers or local DHS offices when necessary
Please note: Our office does not approve or deny benefits, but we can work with IDHS to help move your case forward, clarify documentation, or resolve delays. Many public benefit programs require re-certification or redetermination — be sure to check your mail or ABE account regularly.
