Please read this — it matters

Philadelphia Benefits is a free community information service. Not a government agency. Applying is always free at the official sites. We are not part of the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, the City of Philadelphia, PHA, PECO, PGW, or any program we list, and nothing on this site is an official determination of eligibility.

Everything here is an estimate only, based on the published program rules and the answers you give. Only the agency or organization running a program can decide whether you qualify, and rules, amounts, and dates change — every program page carries its “last verified” date and a link to the official source, which is the final word.

This site provides general information, not legal, tax, or medical advice. For legal help, contact Community Legal Services of Philadelphia or the Philly Tenant Hotline (267-443-2500). In an emergency, call 911.
