Benefit Programs / Resources for Navigating Eligibility Changes
Recent changes to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid eligibility, including updated work requirements, may affect your ability to qualify for these programs. To learn more about how these changes may impact you, visit our SNAP Requirements page and download our SNAP Work Requirement Changes flyer. You can also find key Medicaid updates on the Department of Medical Assistance website.
To help you navigate these changes, the Virginia Department of Social Services is here to connect you with job, food, medical, volunteer and immigration resources in your community.
These trusted statewide resources can help you find job and volunteer opportunities, develop new skills and take your next steps with confidence.
If you and your family are facing food insecurity due to changes in SNAP eligibility or other circumstances, food banks, food pantries and community organizations can provide assistance.
If you have lost your medical assistance benefits, need affordable care or have other medical, behavioral health, dental or prescription needs, you may qualify for free or low-cost services.
Recent changes to SNAP and Medicaid may affect eligibility for some noncitizens. If you’re unsure how these updates might impact you or your family, these resources can help you find support.
Resources like 2‑1‑1 Virginia and the TANF program can connect people across the Commonwealth with services and community supports to stay stable and move forward.
