I am trying to call the number for Fort Lauderdale FL Medicaid and not working. I am trying to enroll food stamps.
A) I’m sorry to hear that the number is not working. According to the website of the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), they are responsible for the administration of the Florida Medicaid program1. However, if you are trying to enroll in food stamps, you may need to contact the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) instead. They are the ones who administer the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Florida2. You can visit their website at https://www.myflorida.com/accessflorida/ or call their customer service number at 1-866-762-2237
The Fort Lauderdale FL Medicaid number is 1-866-796-0530. However, if you are having trouble getting through, there are a few things you can try.
- Check the time of day. The call center is only open from 8am to 8pm Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.
- Try again later. The call center can be busy, so it may take a few tries to get through.
- Use a different phone number. You can also call the Florida Medicaid call center at 1-877-711-3662.
- Visit the Florida Medicaid website. You can also apply for food stamps online at the Florida Medicaid website.
If you are still having trouble, you can contact the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) at 1-800-96-ABUSE (1-800-962-2873). DCF can help you with food stamps and other assistance programs.
Here are some additional tips for enrolling in food stamps:
