Benefits and practical help in Illinois

ABE is Illinois’s combined application portal. Family Community Resource Centers handle local help; Cook County searches also need a ZIP code.

Start with food or health coverage

This center covers application routes for SNAP and Medicaid and links to practical guides for other needs. Each program makes its own eligibility decision. A listed office or website does not guarantee admission, funding or services in your language.

Find the office that handles your area

The correct office can depend on your county, city, program or type of coverage. Use the official locator and check the instructions on your notice.
