Minnesota Department of Human Services has launched a new, online application to use when applying for public assistance benefits, which has replaced ApplyMN. This online service is mobile friendly, user friendly, can be fully translated in Spanish, and requires no account registration or passwords. Apply at MNBenefits.mn.gov for the following programs:
To see if you or someone else may be eligible for benefits, use the Bridge to Benefits eligibility screening tool. If the tool says you may be eligible for Medical Assistance, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Childcare Assistance, or Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) you can apply through Goodhue County Health and Human Services.
Goodhue County actively pursues and investigates suspected fraudulent activity. Receipt of benefits such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Cash Assistance, Medical Assistance, and Childcare may be based upon who is living in the home and the income and/or assets of all or some of the household residents. If a person intentionally gives false information or conceals facts about their situation in order to receive or increase their benefits, they may be subject to prosecution or administrative action. This could result in felony-level charges, sentencing, and disqualification from receiving more program benefits.
For suspected fraud involving recipients of cash assistance, child care assistance, food support, and health care call the Department of Human Services (DHS) at 651-431-3968 or 1-800-627-9977 or go to Report Fraud or GCHHS 651-385-3200.
