If it will be possible, I would put five negative stars. They work very slowly and in a final without results!

Even if you're not checking in for services, you've Gotta wait in line in the blistering sun to use the water fountain or restroom. Their aged blind disabled program should be called the "give homeless & people with no income $200 cash they can't use to pay bills online program" Seriously, you can't use it to pay utility bills or taxes. And, if you earn more than $1, they begin deducting whatever you made from your $200.

Good place for financial help when you need them. As long as you cooperate with the workers they will help you out. Don't go in there all rowdy. They are there to help you not screw you.

IS IT OPEN TOMARROW FOR WALK INS

Michele Burns | Aug 13, 2022
Michael Riley Jr. | Aug 14, 2022

Yes it is. They do stop you at the door and ask you a few quick questions about covid. If you have any symptoms or have been exposed in the last 2 weeks. You will have to come back. And I'm pretty sure they give you a mask at the door. That's where they stop you and ask questions.

Is the office open now? Or do you need to make an appointment?

Dawn Shaughnessy | Aug 13, 2022

I didn't get my EBT this month. I think I'm due for midpoint recertification. Can I do an online form and phone interview or will I have to physically go in? I'm disabled and have no transportation so it's difficult to get there. I live in Parkland.

I.D, you dont need your social security card as long as you know your social security number. If you have an EBT card bring that with you, if not and you're approved you will receive an EBT card today or what ever day you go in.
