Benefits and practical help in Pennsylvania

COMPASS is Pennsylvania’s online benefits route. County Assistance Offices also help, and Medical Assistance has a phone application option.

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.
