This service features an online application portal for various public assistance programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/food stamps), Oregon Health Plan (OHP), Employment Related Daycare (ERDC), and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Applicants can fill out one application to be evaluated for all applicable programs.

Fees: There are no fees for SNAP, OHP, and TANF; however, families receiving ERDC are required to make a monthly co-payment based on family size and total income.
