Application Helper

Fastest — online: YourTexasBenefits.com — create an account and copy these answers in. You can also upload photos of your documents there.
Phone: call 2-1-1 (or 877-541-7905), pick option 2 — they can help you apply.
In person / paper: dial 2-1-1 for your nearest HHSC benefits office. On the paper form (H1010), you may file just page 1 with your name, address, and signature today — your benefits count from the day you file.

Answer simple questions, and this tool prepares your paperwork — a ready-to-use packet for benefits, or a filled-out official form for crime victims' compensation.

Private by design: everything you type stays on this device — nothing is sent to any server, saved, or shared. We never ask for your Social Security number. If you close or refresh this page, your answers are erased.

Food, health & cash help (SNAP · Medicaid · TANF)

Builds your application prep packet: all your answers organized in official-form order, your document checklist, and exactly how to file — including whether you qualify for 7-day emergency SNAP.

Crime Victims' Compensation

If you were hurt in a violent crime, this fills out the official Texas application (medical bills, counseling, lost wages — up to $50,000). You print, sign, and mail it.
