Hi. Call me MC.

I'm not a lawyer. Or a social worker.

I don't work for the Department of Labor, USDA,
or any state agency.

I just have this radical idea that if help is available,
it should also be accessible.

It doesn't have to be complicated.
Or overwhelming.
Or feel like more trouble than it's worth.

But for many, it's all these things. And I'd like to help.

What's in a Guide?

Your launching pad for Unemployment Insurance benefits and the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP). The state-specific guides provide the information you need to get started:

Who qualifies.
What you need to apply.
How to apply.
How to claim and maintain benefits.

Each guide also contains points of contact and other resources:

Info for former federal workers and veterans
Language services.
Accommodations.
Appeals information.

New guides are added daily, so if you don't see your state yet, check back soon!
