Apply for Benefits For your convenience, there are now three different ways to apply for or renew your benefits. You may choose to do so online, with a paper application, or in person. Online - Use the COMPASS( http://www.compass.state.pa.us ) website. With the click of a button you can see if you qualify, apply, and renew your benefits. COMPASS flyer: English( /cs/groups/webcontent/documents/document/c_266246.pdf ) | Spanish( /cs/groups/webcontent/documents/document/c_266250.pdf )

In Person - Visit your local county assistance office( /citizens/findfacilsandlocs/countyassistanceofficecontactinformation/index.htm ) and apply in person Paper Application - Download the paper application ( English Version( /cs/groups/webcontent/documents/form/p_014338.pdf ) or Versión Española( /cs/groups/webcontent/documents/form/p_011870.pdf ) ) and mail it to your local county assistance office You can also check your eligibility before submitting your application using the online COMPASS website. Not sure where to start? If you or someone you care for is in need of long-term services and supports but are unsure of where to start when searching for benefits, try the Information Referral Tool( https://www.humanservices.state.pa.us/irt ) . A short questionnaire will point you toward assistance based on individual needs.
