Help From DHS:
Having help from DHS, even a small amount of help through a Bridge Card will make the process of receiving emergency help easier.  There have also been changes in how your child care expenses figure into the amount of your Bridge Card benefits.  If you pay more that $175 per child for child care your food assistance may increase.  To find out what the changes may be for your household you can call the Food & Nutrition Helpline at 1-800-481-4989.

More Help:
We are again offering budgeting help.  Would you like someone to help you set up an easy way to keep track of your money, to see where changes could be made, or how to understand some of the issues that keep you awake at night?  Getting a clear picture, with a plan could make a difference, or at least give you peace of mind!  Call Mary and let’s talk 231-588-2208.
