通往福利之桥 Screening Tool is a project of the Children’s Defense Fund-Minnesota to improve the well-being of families and individuals by linking them to public work support programs and tax credits. By answering a few simple questions, you will be able to see if you or someone else may be eligible for public work support programs. They will NOT ask you for information that identifies you. It’s easy, confidential and free!
NOTE: This screening tool does not determine eligibility. 这只是一个指导方针. After using this screening tool, you must apply to each program to be sure you are eligible.
Getting help with grocery purchases is easier than you think. 提前, 也被称为食品券, is how many Minnesotans feed themselves and their families, and the federal government recently expanded college students' access to 提前 benefits. Someone who purchases and prepares their food alone is now qualified for a 提前 benefit of up to $250 per month.
A partnership between M州, Minnesota State and 联合劝募协会211, this service provides M州 students 24/7 access to free and confidential health and human services information.
