Designed for social workers, community volunteers and service providers who work with low-income families, the Covering All Families website features a screening tool that is simple, fast and efficient. A collaborative effort between CDF Minnesota and the University of Minnesota's Children, Youth and Family Consortium, the website is most effective when it is part of a community-wide action program to support working families.
10 Minutes to Complete
After answering a simple questionnaire that takes 10 minutes to complete, the screening tool calculates potential eligibility for:
- Medical Assistance (MA), General Assistance Medical Care (GAMC), and MinnesotaCare
- Basic Sliding Fee Child Care Assistance
- The School Meal Program
- Food Support Program
- Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Working Family Credit (WFC)
- Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
Just the Right Resources
Designed by public program experts, the website was organized and edited into a simple, easy-to-use format. It puts the right program information all at your fingertips:
- Get program descriptions, eligibility criteria, and direct links to the organizations that administer each of these programs.
- Download applications for tax credits and Minnesota health care programs.
- Clarify the entry/access points to programs, get tips on how to make the application process more efficient, and find community resources that are available to help families through the application process.
- Find out what type of verifications or documents are needed to apply to the programs.
- Find additional resources and links to programs on income support, housing, nutrition, and low-cost health care.
