Medical Assistance (MA), also referred to sometimes as Medicaid, provides payment for health care services on behalf of eligible low-income individuals with limited income and high medical expenses.
How to Apply for Medical Assistance
You can apply for and renew your benefits from the comfort of your home using COMPASS, the online resource for cash assistance, Food Stamps, help with child care, health care coverage, home heating assistance (LIHEAP), school meals, SelectPlan for Women and long-term living services.
You can also contact your local County Assistance Office. You may apply even if you are not sure that you are eligible. You may also download an application form to send to your County Assistance Office (below). If you need help completing the application form and a friend or relative is unable to help you, trained County Assistance Office staff members can help you.
