Good morning, Could you please let me know if there is a building in Spring Valley where I can apply for food stamps and medical benefits.

A) According to my web search, you can apply for food stamps and medical benefits in Spring Valley IL through the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS)1. You can apply online using the Application for Benefits Eligibility (ABE), download and mail a paper application1, or visit your local Family Community Resource Center. You can use the DHS Office Locator1 to find the nearest office to you. You can also call their toll-free line at 1-800-843-6154 for more information or assistance.

You may also be eligible for other programs such as Cash Assistance, Child Care Assistance, Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), and Medicare Savings. Please check the eligibility criteria and application process for each program on their website2 or contact them directly.

If you are elderly or disabled, you may have some special rules for getting food stamps and medical benefits. You can read more about them on the USDA Food and Nutrition Service website
