FAQ

Common Questions

Will this cost me anything?

No. If approved through the Social Care Network program, food support comes at no cost.

Will this affect my SNAP, WIC, or Medicaid benefits?

No — this is an added health support service and does not reduce your existing benefits.

What if I'm not sure if my Medicaid plan qualifies?

No problem. We'll verify your CIN and Medicaid plan details for you — most plans qualify.

What kind of food will I get?

Depending on eligibility, you may receive prepared meals, groceries, or pantry staples that meet healthy nutrition guidelines.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes — including Kosher, Halal, vegetarian, vegan, diabetic-friendly, low-sodium, and allergy needs. Just note your preferences on the form.

How long does the process take?

The eligibility check takes about 2 minutes. After submitting, our team typically follows up within 2–3 business days.

What happens after I submit the form?

A team member reviews your information, checks your eligibility through the Social Care Network, and contacts you using your preferred method to coordinate next steps.

Do I need to upload any documents?

No documents are needed for the initial check. We just need your basic information and Medicaid CIN to verify eligibility.

Can I fill this out for a family member?

Yes — you can complete the form on behalf of a relative or friend, as long as you have their consent and accurate Medicaid information.
