Rules, funding, office practices, and local availability can change. Always confirm details with the Wyoming agency or local provider handling your case. (dfs.wyo.gov)

If you are a single mother in Wyoming and need help fast, this page is meant to save you time. It covers where real help starts in Wyoming for cash, rent and housing, food, health coverage, child care, pregnancy and postpartum support, utilities, work and training, legal help, and local county-by-county support. (dfs.wyo.gov)

Here is the honest version up front: in Wyoming, most “grants” for single mothers are not big checks you can spend any way you want. The closest regular cash help is usually POWER/TANF and child support. Most other programs pay in a different way: food on EBT, medical coverage, help paid to your heating vendor, help paid to a child care provider, or local crisis aid handled county by county. (dfs.wyo.gov)

Three Wyoming facts that matter right now:

A Wyoming family of 3 with no income could receive about $781 a month through the POWER Work program. (dfs.wyo.gov)
The current Wyoming maximum SNAP allotment for a household of 4 is $994 a month for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. (dfs.wyo.gov)
For the current heating season, Wyoming LIEAP applications are open through April 30, 2026, and heat-loss emergencies are supposed to be addressed within 18 business hours. (dfs.wyo.gov)

Urgent help in Wyoming

If you are in crisis right now:

Immediate danger: Call 911. (lawyoming.org)

Need shelter, food, rent help, utility help, or local crisis help: Dial 211 or 1-888-425-7138, or text your ZIP code to 898211. Wyoming 211 is statewide and connects people to rent help, food, job training, health coverage help, and more. (wyoming211.org)

Homeless or about to lose housing: Wyoming DFS Homeless Services points families to Wyoming 211 and works with the Wyoming Homeless Collaborative. (dfs.wyo.gov)

Child abuse or neglect concerns: Contact your local DFS office; in an emergency call 911. (dfs.wyo.gov)

Domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault, or protection order help: Legal Aid of Wyoming handles protection-from-abuse issues and tells people in immediate danger to call 911; it also points survivors to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for local advocacy connections. (lawyoming.org)

What to do first in Wyoming

Use this Wyoming-first triage map if you are overwhelmed and need one next step, not ten. It reflects how Wyoming’s main state and local systems are actually set up. (dfs.wyo.gov)

If this is your problem	Start here first in Wyoming	Why this is the best first door
You have no money for basics	Local DFS office for POWER and SNAP	POWER is the clearest ongoing cash help; SNAP can reduce grocery pressure fast.
You have no food today	SNAP, WIC if pregnant/postpartum/with a child under 5, and TEFAP/Food Bank through 211	Wyoming food help works best when you stack EBT + WIC + pantry food.
You are behind on rent or got an eviction notice	211, your county CSBG/community action agency, and Legal Aid if there is court paperwork	Wyoming rent help is mostly local, not one statewide check.
Your heat may shut off or you are running out of fuel	LIEAP now; if you already applied, call LIEAP and your local provider	LIEAP is the main heating help system in Wyoming.
You have no health coverage	Wyoming Medicaid/Kid Care CHIP first; if unsure, call Enroll Wyoming	Medicaid/CHIP can screen kids and pregnancy coverage; Enroll Wyoming helps with Marketplace options too.
You cannot work or go to school because of child care	DFS Child Care Subsidy / ECARES	This is Wyoming’s main child-care payment system for work, school, training, and job search.
You are pregnant, just had a baby, or need help for an infant	Medicaid, WIC, and your county Public Health Nursing office	These are the fastest Wyoming doors for coverage, food, breastfeeding, and home visiting referrals.
You are unsafe at home	911, then Legal Aid, 211, and the domestic violence hotline listed above	Safety comes before benefits paperwork.

How help usually works in Wyoming

Wyoming does not run family help through one single office. The main state doors are split:

Wyoming Department of Family Services (DFS) handles SNAP, POWER/TANF, child care subsidy, LIEAP, and local field offices. DFS says it has 28 field offices in 23 counties. (dfs.wyo.gov)
Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) handles Medicaid, Kid Care CHIP, WIC-linked resources, public health nursing, and related health systems. (health.wyo.gov)
Department of Workforce Services (DWS) is closely tied to the POWER Work side because POWER participants work with case managers and employment plans. (dws.wyo.gov)
Housing help is fragmented. Long-term rental help runs through local public housing agencies, affordable-rental listings run through WCDA, homelessness help routes through Wyoming 211 / Homeless Collaborative, and emergency rent help often depends on your county community action / CSBG entity. (hud.gov)

In practice, Wyoming families often get stuck in three places:
(1) they start in the wrong system, (2) they do not realize some benefits still require phone interviews or local-office follow-up, or (3) they assume there is a statewide rent-grant program when the real answer is county-by-county local aid. (dfs.wyo.gov)

What is true cash help vs housing help vs food help vs health coverage vs local support

This distinction matters because searching “grants” can waste precious time. In Wyoming, true spendable cash is limited. Most major programs reduce bills instead of handing you money. (dfs.wyo.gov)

Type of help	Wyoming examples	What it usually means in real life
True cash help	POWER/TANF, child support	Money you can usually use for basics like rent, gas, diapers, and household costs
Housing help	Local rent aid, vouchers, subsidized rentals, shelter	Often paid to a landlord or tied to a unit or waitlist
Food help	SNAP, WIC, TEFAP pantries, school meals	EBT benefits, WIC foods, pantry groceries, or meals for children
Health coverage	Medicaid, Kid Care CHIP, Marketplace help through Enroll Wyoming	Insurance coverage, not cash
Local support	Wyoming 211, community action, county human services, Legal Aid	Referrals, one-time crisis help, case management, applications, legal help

Cash and financial help in Wyoming

1) POWER is the clearest ongoing cash-help program

If you need actual money for basics, start with POWER, Wyoming’s TANF cash assistance program. DFS says Wyoming has two versions: POWER Work and POWER Caretaker Relative. A family of three with no income could receive $781 a month under POWER Work, and a caretaker-relative case for one child could receive $259 a month with no income or resources. The family resource limit is $5,000. (dfs.wyo.gov)

POWER is also work-focused. If you are in the POWER Work program, a DWS case manager helps build an Individual Responsibility Plan, and weekly participation is required to keep getting paid. DFS says POWER can also help with practical job-related costs like work clothing, transportation, vehicle repair, tools, equipment, and even relocation expenses in some cases. (dfs.wyo.gov)

Important Wyoming friction point: the official POWER page still tells families to download the application, contact the local DFS office, complete the interview by phone or in person, and send documents by email or through the local office. The TANF interview line is 307-777-8550, and DFS says it is for interviews only, not case-status questions. Documents can be emailed to snappowerservice@wyo.gov with your full name and date of birth in the subject line. (dfs.wyo.gov)

2) Child support can be more important than a one-time “grant”

If the other parent should be helping financially, open or update a case with the Wyoming Child Support Program. Wyoming has a self-service portal, local offices, and a general Customer Service Center at 307-777-6948. If you are a parent or caregiver who cannot apply online, the program says to contact or visit your local child support office and request an application. (childsupport.wyo.gov)

If you get POWER, cooperation with child support is part of the program. DFS says TANF/POWER recipients are required to cooperate with child support, and the service is provided at no cost through POWER. (dfs.wyo.gov)

3) Local emergency aid is usually not true cash

County and regional community-action groups in Wyoming sometimes help with rent, utilities, transportation, or other emergency needs, but that help is often one-time, limited, and paid to a vendor instead of put in your hand. Treat it as crisis help, not as steady income. (csnowyo.org)

Housing and rent help in Wyoming

Housing is where Wyoming can feel the most scattered. There is not one single statewide rent-relief door for everyone. Your next step depends on whether you need emergency help now, legal help because an eviction case already started, or longer-term affordable housing. (dfs.wyo.gov)

If you are about to lose housing, start with Wyoming 211. DFS Homeless Services directs people there for community resources, and the state partners with the Wyoming Homeless Collaborative. That is the right first move if you need shelter, motel help, coordinated-entry referrals, or the nearest homelessness provider. (dfs.wyo.gov)

If you are behind on rent but not yet homeless, your best bet is usually your county CSBG/community action agency. In Wyoming, local entities like Community Action Partnership of Natrona County, Community Action of Laramie County, WYO HELP, YCAN, Uinta County Human Services, and other county tripartite boards handle much of the practical crisis help. That is why calling 211 or jumping to the local-regional table below can save time. (csnowyo.org)

For longer-term rent reduction, use two tracks at the same time:

Apply to local public housing agencies (PHAs) for vouchers or public housing. HUD says you apply through your local PHA, not through one statewide list, and because of demand you may need to apply to multiple waitlists. HUD also says you do not have to be a resident of the jurisdiction where you apply. (hud.gov)
Check the WCDA affordable rental directory / rental map. WCDA’s statewide directory includes low-income, senior, and special-needs housing, and availability has to be verified with each property. (search.wyoming211.org)

If you already have a 3-day notice, court filing, landlord lockout threat, repair problem, subsidy problem, or security-deposit dispute, do not wait. Legal Aid of Wyoming handles housing issues including eviction, repairs, fair housing, security deposits, and subsidized housing for qualifying low-income residents. (lawyoming.org)

Food help in Wyoming

In Wyoming, food help works best when you stack programs, not when you wait for one perfect program. For many families, the right mix is SNAP + WIC + pantry food + school meals. (dfs.wyo.gov)

SNAP

Wyoming SNAP applications still route through DFS with a paper application, interview, and document follow-up. After you submit, DFS says you can complete the interview by calling 307-777-8550 or by going to the local office in person. For case status, DFS says to call or visit your local office, not the interview line. (dfs.wyo.gov)

Here are the current Wyoming DFS SNAP numbers for October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026:

Household size	Gross monthly income limit (130% FPL)	Max monthly SNAP allotment
1	$1,696	$298
2	$2,292	$546
3	$2,888	$785
4	$3,483	$994

These figures come from Wyoming DFS Table I. Households with an elderly or disabled member use different gross-income rules, and final eligibility still depends on deductions and case facts. If you are in a crisis and have almost no money, ask DFS whether your case qualifies for expedited service. (dfs.wyo.gov)

WIC

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, postpartum, or have a child under age 5, WIC is one of the best first calls in Wyoming. The Wyoming WIC program covers nutritious foods, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and referrals. Wyoming WIC eligibility includes living in Wyoming, meeting a nutrition/medical need, and being at or below 185% of the federal poverty level. USDA’s Wyoming page says you can apply online or call a WIC clinic near you, and lists statewide contacts including 1-888-996-9378 and 307-777-7494. (health.wyo.gov)

Pantry food and emergency groceries

DFS says TEFAP is separate from SNAP and works with the Food Bank of Wyoming to supply pantries across the state. TEFAP is available at no cost to households with gross income at or below 185% of the current federal poverty level. If you need food quickly, 211 can help you find the right pantry or mobile pantry for your county. (dfs.wyo.gov)

School meals and summer food

Wyoming’s school meal system can help more than some parents realize. The Wyoming Department of Education says children can be directly certified for free school meals through SNAP and foster-child eligibility, which means some families do not need a separate income application. For summer, USDA’s SUN Meals site finder is the safest way to look up open meal sites in Wyoming. (portals.edu.wyoming.gov)

Health coverage and medical help in Wyoming

Start with Medicaid or Kid Care CHIP

Wyoming Medicaid and Kid Care CHIP applications can be filed online, by phone, by fax, or by mail/drop-off at 3001 East Pershing Blvd., Suite 125, Cheyenne, WY 82001. The main number is 1-855-294-2127. The official handbook says applications can take up to 45 days to process. It also says Medicaid may cover up to three months before the application date if you had medical bills and met the rules then; Kid Care CHIP does not backdate that way. (health.wyo.gov)

Kid Care CHIP is for children who do not qualify for Medicaid and meet the child-specific rules. The children’s handbook says applicants must generally be under 19, meet income rules, and not have other insurance coverage. Approved children are generally eligible for 12 months before renewal. (health.wyo.gov)

Pregnancy and postpartum coverage are especially important in Wyoming

Wyoming has approved 12 months of postpartum Medicaid coverage for Medicaid-eligible pregnant women, effective for births on and after July 1, 2023. Pregnant women may also be able to get presumptive eligibility through a qualified provider or qualified hospital while the full case is being processed. (medicaid.gov)

If Medicaid says no, do not stop there

Wyoming’s official Medicaid materials still screen people through category-based pathways such as children, pregnant women, parents/caretaker relatives, disability-related programs, and other specific groups. That means some moms will not fit easily into full Medicaid even when money is tight. If that happens, do not assume there is no health option. Enroll Wyoming provides free statewide Navigator help for Marketplace plans as well as Wyoming Medicaid and Kid Care CHIP, and its Navigators serve all 23 counties. (health.wyo.gov)

Rural Wyoming tip: ask about travel and telehealth help

For rural families, distance is part of the problem. The Wyoming Medicaid handbook lists travel assistance through member services and the member portal, and it also points people to public access telehealth spaces through the Wyoming Telehealth Network. (health.wyo.gov)

Child care and school support

Wyoming’s main child care help is the DFS Child Care Subsidy Program. DFS says it helps low-income families pay for care while a parent is searching for employment, working, or in school or training. Applications now run through ECARES, the state’s child-care access system. DFS also makes clear that actual eligibility is determined by the local DFS office in the county where you live. (dfs.wyo.gov)

A few practical points matter:

The subsidy only pays for the hours tied to your approved activity schedule. (dfs.wyo.gov)
Your provider still has to meet health and safety requirements. (dfs.wyo.gov)
If the provider charges more than DFS’s maximum reimbursement, you may owe the difference on top of any parent share. (dfs.wyo.gov)

For school-age children, also make sure the school knows if your family receives SNAP or has a child in foster care, because Wyoming uses direct certification for free meals in many cases. (portals.edu.wyoming.gov)

Pregnancy, postpartum, and infant help

If you are pregnant, newly postpartum, or caring for a baby, the fastest Wyoming stack is usually:

Apply for Medicaid / Kid Care screening
Apply for WIC
Call your county Public Health Nursing office for local maternal-child supports and referrals (health.wyo.gov)

Wyoming also has a public-health home-visiting pathway. The Department of Health’s HealthStat report says the Public Health Nursing Home Visitation Program, Wyoming Hand in Hand, provides perinatal home visiting services from pregnancy to a child’s second birthday. (health.wyo.gov)

WIC is especially valuable here because it does more than food. Wyoming’s WIC materials describe breastfeeding education, training, and support, food benefits, and referrals to other health and social services. (health.wyo.gov)

Utility and bill help

For most Wyoming families, the main utility program is LIEAP, and because of the cold climate it is one of the most important programs not to miss. DFS says the current 2025-2026 heating season application period runs from October 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026. As of this review in April 2026, that means the window is close to closing. If you have not applied yet and you need help with heat, do it immediately. (dfs.wyo.gov)

LIEAP helps with:

Seasonal heating assistance
Heating crisis help such as disconnect notices, broken furnaces, running out of fuel, and utility deposits
Weatherization through the joint LIEAP/WAP application (dfs.wyo.gov)

Wyoming says LIEAP serves households with income up to 60% of state median income, gives priority to households with older adults, disabled members, or children under 5, and pays benefits directly to vendors. Non-emergency applications are processed within 45 days, while heat-loss emergencies are supposed to be addressed within 18 business hours. Weatherization applications are accepted year-round, and both renters and homeowners can qualify. (dfs.wyo.gov)

If your problem is not heating, or if the seasonal window has closed, go back to 211 and your local county CSBG/community-action agency for smaller emergency help or referrals. (wyoming211.org)

Work and training help

If you are already on POWER, the work side of the program can matter as much as the cash. Wyoming ties POWER participants to case management, job-readiness help, and employment planning through DWS and Workforce Center systems. (dfs.wyo.gov)

For formal training, two Wyoming-specific options stand out:

Wyoming Works through the Wyoming Community College Commission. It provides grants and program support for adult students in approved high-demand programs at Wyoming community colleges. (communitycolleges.wy.edu)
Climb Wyoming, a Wyoming nonprofit built specifically around low-income single mothers. Climb says it offers free job training and new careers for single moms, works across every county in the state through regional offices, and can be reached at 307-778-4126. (climbwyoming.org)

One practical warning: when your income starts going up, tell DFS, Medicaid, and any other program right away and ask how the change affects your case. Do not wait until renewal and do not assume you have to choose between work and stability with no transition plan.

If your application gets denied, delayed, or ignored

This section matters. In Wyoming, families often lose time because they assume “pending” means “someone is working on it.” Sometimes it does. Sometimes it means the office still needs one document, an interview, or a manual follow-up.

For SNAP, POWER, child care, and other DFS-run help

DFS’s own pages say:

Use the interview line only if you already filed and need to complete the interview. (dfs.wyo.gov)
For case status, call or visit your local DFS office. (dfs.wyo.gov)
If you need to submit documents, you can use your local office and, for SNAP/POWER, the state email intake instructions. (dfs.wyo.gov)
If your complaint is not getting fixed, DFS lists an Ombudsman contact: 307-777-6597. (dfs.wyo.gov)

For Medicaid or Kid Care CHIP

The Wyoming handbook says notices are mailed for approvals, denials, discontinuations, and requests for more information. It also says an administrative hearing can be requested if eligibility was wrongly denied, changed, or terminated. The handbook links people to the Office of Administrative Hearings. (health.wyo.gov)

What to do while you wait

While a case is pending or under appeal:

Use WIC if you are pregnant/postpartum or have a young child. (fns.usda.gov)
Use TEFAP/Food Bank and 211 for food now. (dfs.wyo.gov)
Use your county CSBG/community-action agency for local crisis help. (csnowyo.org)
Call Legal Aid of Wyoming if the delay is putting housing or safety at risk, or if your problem is a public-benefits denial that needs legal help. (lawyoming.org)

A simple survival rule: keep one folder with your application date, every notice, every document you sent, and every phone call you made.

Local and regional help in Wyoming

This is where Wyoming feels different from a bigger state. Your county can change your best next step. The county groupings and lead local systems below are based on Wyoming’s CSBG/community-action network and agency pages. (csnowyo.org)

Area	Main local door	What it usually helps with
Natrona & Converse	Community Action Partnership of Natrona County	Emergency services, case management, housing navigation, Ready to Rent
Laramie, Platte, Lincoln & Sublette	Community Action of Laramie County	Case management, supportive services, local poverty-reduction programs
Carbon, Crook, Goshen, Niobrara, Washakie & Weston	WYO HELP	Emergency assistance, case management, referrals
Uinta	Uinta County Human Services / Tripartite Board	Emergency aid, rent and utilities help, workforce supports
Albany	Albany County Tripartite Board	Housing help, emergency aid, support services
Sheridan	Sheridan County Tripartite Board	Emergency services, housing, family support
Park, Teton & Hot Springs	YCAN	Emergency assistance, case management, referrals
Fremont	Project Independence	Intensive case management, self-sufficiency and emergency-needs support
Sweetwater	Sweetwater County Tripartite Board	Housing, utilities, food, and workforce support
Campbell	CARES Board	Emergency support, housing crisis intervention, resource navigation

If 211 gives you three names and you do not know which one to call first, ask: “Who is the CSBG or community-action lead for my county?” In Wyoming, that question often gets you to the right local door faster.

Access barriers and special situations

If you live in a rural or frontier part of Wyoming

Distance changes everything. Use Medicaid travel assistance if you are already enrolled, and ask about public access telehealth spaces if internet, privacy, or transportation are the problem. (health.wyo.gov)

If you work and have a disability

The Wyoming Medicaid handbook lists Employed Individuals with Disabilities (EID) as a program area. If you are trying to stay employed and keep coverage, ask the Customer Service Center to screen you for that option. (health.wyo.gov)

If you are on or near the Wind River Reservation

Legal Aid of Wyoming says it serves members of the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes in Tribal Court. If your problem is family law, protection from abuse, housing, or another civil legal issue, ask specifically about the right court and venue for your case. (lawyoming.org)

If immigration status or language is part of the problem

Do not guess and do not self-deny. Wyoming’s official materials note that some non-citizens may be eligible for emergency services and childbirth, and child health coverage depends on age, status, insurance status, and other rules. Enroll Wyoming provides free coverage navigation, and Legal Aid says its hotline can assist Spanish speakers. DFS also provides Spanish application forms for POWER/TANF. (health.wyo.gov)

When you need legal help or family safety support

If your problem is eviction, domestic violence, child custody, child support, stalking, security deposits, or public-benefits trouble, do not try to solve all of it through a benefits office. Wyoming has separate legal doors for legal problems.

Child support: use the Wyoming Child Support Program portal or contact your local office. General questions go to 307-777-6948. (childsupport.wyo.gov)
Free civil legal help: Legal Aid of Wyoming serves qualifying low-income residents and handles family law, housing, protection from abuse, and public-benefits issues. Hotline: 1-877-432-9955, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (lawyoming.org)
Protection from abuse / survivor help: Legal Aid’s protection-from-abuse page says to call 911 if you are in immediate danger and points survivors to the National Domestic Violence Hotline for advocacy connections. (lawyoming.org)
Child abuse or neglect: report through your local DFS office; in emergencies call 911. (dfs.wyo.gov)

Best places to start in Wyoming

If you only save one short list, save this one:

Local DFS office — SNAP, POWER/TANF, child care subsidy, local follow-up, and many document problems. (dfs.wyo.gov)
Wyoming Medicaid / Kid Care CHIP Customer Service Center: 1-855-294-2127. (health.wyo.gov)
Wyoming 211: dial 211 or 1-888-425-7138; text ZIP code to 898211. (wyoming211.org)
LIEAP: 1-800-246-4221 for heating help. (dfs.wyo.gov)
Legal Aid of Wyoming: 1-877-432-9955. (lawyoming.org)
Enroll Wyoming: 307-996-4797 for free Marketplace / Medicaid / CHIP Navigator help. (enrollwyo.org)
Wyoming WIC: 1-888-996-9378. (fns.usda.gov)

Questions single mothers ask in Wyoming

1) Does Wyoming give single mothers direct cash grants?

Usually not in the way people mean by “grants.” In Wyoming, the main ongoing cash help is POWER/TANF, and child support may also be a real money source. Most other help is food benefits, health coverage, vendor-paid energy help, housing assistance, or local crisis aid. (dfs.wyo.gov)

2) How much can a single mom get from TANF in Wyoming?

DFS says a family of three with no income could receive $781 a month through the POWER Work program. Actual cases depend on household size, income, and other rules. (dfs.wyo.gov)

3) What is the fastest food help in Wyoming?

Start with SNAP, but do not wait on SNAP alone. If you are pregnant, postpartum, or have a child under 5, add WIC. If you need groceries right now, add TEFAP / Food Bank help through 211 or your local pantry. (dfs.wyo.gov)

4) Can I get Medicaid in Wyoming if I am not pregnant?

Maybe, but it depends on your category. Wyoming’s official Medicaid materials screen people through specific groups such as children, pregnant women, parents/caretaker relatives, disability-related programs, and other listed categories. If Medicaid says no, call Enroll Wyoming to check Marketplace coverage and subsidies instead of stopping there. (health.wyo.gov)

5) Where do I apply for rent help in Wyoming?

There is no single statewide rent-help door for everyone. Start with 211, your county CSBG/community-action provider, and Legal Aid if there is already a landlord notice or eviction filing. For longer-term help, also check local PHA waitlists and the WCDA rental directory. (wyoming211.org)

6) What if DFS never calls me back?

For SNAP and POWER, DFS says case-status questions go through your local office, not the interview line. If you already sent documents, resend them the way DFS instructs and keep a copy. If the problem still does not move, DFS lists an Ombudsman at 307-777-6597. (dfs.wyo.gov)

7) Can Wyoming help me pay for child care while I work or go to school?

Yes. DFS says the Child Care Subsidy Program can help while you are job searching, working, or in school/training, and applications run through ECARES. Your county DFS office makes the eligibility decision. (dfs.wyo.gov)

8) Where can I get free legal help in Wyoming?

Legal Aid of Wyoming is the main free civil legal-help provider for qualifying low-income residents. It handles family law, housing, protection from abuse, and public-benefits issues. (lawyoming.org)

Resumen en español

Si eres madre soltera en Wyoming y necesitas ayuda ahora mismo, empieza por el problema más urgente. Si no tienes dinero para lo básico, llama o ve a tu oficina local de DFS para preguntar por POWER/TANF y SNAP. Si no tienes comida, combina SNAP, WIC y despensa/alimentos de emergencia por medio de 211. Si estás embarazada o acabas de tener un bebé, pide revisión para Medicaid, solicita WIC y pregunta en tu oficina local de Public Health Nursing por apoyo adicional. (dfs.wyo.gov)

En Wyoming, la mayor parte de la ayuda no llega como efectivo libre. La ayuda más parecida a dinero directo suele ser POWER/TANF y, en algunos casos, manutención infantil. Muchos otros programas pagan de otra forma: SNAP en EBT para comida, Medicaid/Kid Care CHIP para cobertura médica, LIEAP para calefacción pagada al proveedor, o ayuda local de renta y servicios públicos manejada por agencias comunitarias del condado. (dfs.wyo.gov)

Si te niegan ayuda, el caso se queda pendiente demasiado tiempo, o nadie te responde, no esperes en silencio. Para casos de SNAP/POWER, vuelve a comunicarte con tu oficina local de DFS. Para Medicaid/CHIP, llama al 1-855-294-2127. Si necesitas orientación gratis sobre seguro médico del Mercado, Medicaid o CHIP, llama a Enroll Wyoming al 307-996-4797. Y si tienes un problema legal de desalojo, custodia o violencia familiar, llama a Legal Aid of Wyoming al 1-877-432-9955. Siempre verifica reglas y documentos con la fuente oficial más reciente porque pueden cambiar. (dfs.wyo.gov)
