Benefits in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania administers benefits through county assistance offices (CAOs) distributed throughout the state, meaning local access to caseworkers is generally available. The COMPASS online system allows Pennsylvanians to apply for SNAP, Medicaid, CHIP, TANF, and cash assistance in a single application. Pennsylvania also has a state property tax/rent rebate program for older and disabled residents. The state's SNAP outreach program is one of the larger funded efforts in the country.
