I have tried calling Chinle DES just hung up on me saying the call is not monitored. Are they closed still? how can I apply for ACCESS?
I submitted a request back in March 2021 and have not received a closure letter yet. Tried calling the Chinle number but says this is not monitored.
I received a P-EBT card for my kids. I do have custody of my children but i cannot activate card because it has their mother's name on the card. How do I get it put in my name or get it switch we do need the food but cannot activate at all.
This phone is ridiculous every time I call I'm always on hold for 5 hours. I understand that there is a lot of incoming calls but my point is when an agent finally answers he or she hangs up. I work 8 hours and its 2 half hours from where I work. I'm only off on weekends. I'm trying to get a hold of agent for my benefits. Its been 2 months.
I am retired and earn $2698 a month, what services do I qualify for?
Trying to apply for food stamps. Need assistance.
