I got cursed with the worlds worst caseworker she’s so rude and literally acts like I’m breaking the law by applying for benefits, however I did speak with a really nice manager out of the Harrisburg office. But Evelyn Santiago is the worst she wasn’t always like this but the last couple times I’ve had to deal with her ever since I called the Harrisburg and had it out with her supervisor after being shut off for literally doing everything I was asked, she just shut me off again for non compliance from two renewals ago? So I filed appeal 3 weeks ago still haven’t been turned on she keeps clearing the tickets and not calling me back. The problem I really had was with her supervisor when she was on vacation but she took it personal ig so now I’m being punished every 6 months.

I applied for MA and Snap benefits last week until then I didn’t know who is my case worker. Front desk’s worker gave me my caseworker name and phone. I spoke to him and got to know he is super nice, caring and friendly. He takes time to explain the questions and help you through what you need to get done. I’m happy to have Mr. Tom Philbin as my caseworker.

They are super speedy here, and couldn't be any more helpful. Some immature people are just leaving unwarranted nasty comments. These workers do a great job dealing with the public.

Call the main number and when you get a representative ask for the direct number to your case worker. I lost mines number so I had to do this to get back in touch with her

Why don't they answer phone at county assist office

ann maddage | Sep 19, 2020
Jeanne Lentini | Sep 19, 2020

The number online they do not answer its very rare you get an answer on that number. If you have a case managers number then they answer or you can leave a message and get answered back in that day. Otherwise using the national number you have to wait 3 days to get called.back. so your best bet is always to go in the office you get answered and usually get results. Also the wait is not really.to bad the most I ever waited was 30 minutes .
