Some of the things we ask you to do to maintain benefits are:
- Read and understand DTA notices that may impact your benefits
- Fill out DTA forms
- Provide documents that accompany your application for cash or food assistance
- Tell us about changes in your household/case
- Meet deadlines
DTA can help make things easier and understandable for people with disabilities.
What kind of help can I get?
Examples of common accommodations DTA can provide include:
- Person-centered communication options known as auxiliary aids for your appointments at DTA
