Navigating public assistance just got easier for Maryland residents. Whether you’re seeking help with food, medical care, energy bills, or other essential services, the new Maryland Benefits platform brings it all together — in one simple application.
What is Maryland Benefits?
Maryland Benefits is a new online platform created by Maryland Department of Human Services that allows residents to apply for multiple government assistance benefits programs at once. Instead of filling out separate forms for each program, you can now submit one application to be considered for a range of services you may qualify for.
What Programs Can you Apply For?
With the Maryland Benefits application, you can potentially qualify for:
- Food Assistance (SNAP)
- Medical Coverage (Medicaid)
- Cash Assistance
- Child Care Subsidy
- Housing Assistance
- And more…
With this platform you will be able to connect to the right programs based on the information you provide.
How Does It Work?
- Visit marylandbenefits.gov
- Create an account or log in.
- Fill out and complete application.
- Submit your application.
Who Can Apply?
Any Maryland resident who needs help with basic needs — regardless of age or employment status — can use the platform to explore available benefits.
