About Illinois Department of Human Services

The state's Application for Benefits Eligibility (ABE) portal handles online applications for Medicaid and All Kids healthcare coverage, SNAP food assistance, TANF and AABD cash assistance, and Medicare Savings Programs. A screening tool lets people check likely eligibility without saving answers, and Manage My Case allows applicants to view benefit amounts and notices, check redetermination due dates, renew coverage, report changes, and file appeals. SNAP recipients receive an Illinois Link Card usable like a debit card at most grocery stores. Applications can also be completed by phone, and the site links to related help with child care, child support, LIHEAP energy assistance, and services for seniors.
