Other programs and services
See below for more information on several different programs available to eligible Pennsylvanians.
Medicaid
Medical Assistance (MA), also known as Medicaid, pays for health care services for eligible individuals. There are different ways to apply for MA. Please choose the option that suits you best. If you do not know if you are eligible, you can still apply.
Medicare
Medicare is a federal health insurance program that provides benefits to American citizens and permanent legal residents (of at least five continuous years) aged 65 and older, or who have a qualifying disability or illness.
SNAP
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps Pennsylvanians buy food. People in eligible low-income households can obtain more nutritious diets with SNAP increasing their food purchasing power at grocery stores and supermarkets.
Donate Life Pennsylvania
Thousands die every year waiting for a donated organ, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Register now, and you could save up to 8 lives. DLPA works to educate PA residents, build awareness about the importance of organ and tissue donation and increase the number of signups.
