Questions, answered
Clear information before you begin.
Here are the questions Bronx households often ask first. Screening is the first step; approval and service availability are determined under applicable program rules.
Does having Medicaid mean I will qualify?
No. Medicaid membership allows you to be screened. Eligibility for a specific service depends on individual circumstances, health-related needs, coverage, location, program rules, and approval.
What information do I need to start?
Only basic contact details, your Bronx ZIP code, preferred language, and whether you are enrolled in New York Medicaid.
Will I need to share my Medicaid number?
Not on this first form. We do not ask for Medicaid ID numbers, Social Security numbers, diagnoses, or other sensitive medical information here.
What food support may be available?
Depending on eligibility and local availability, approved support may include prepared meals, groceries, pantry items, or other food-related services.
Are approved services available at no cost?
Covered Social Care Network services may be available at no cost to an eligible Medicaid member when the service is approved.
