A suggested script — adapt it to your situation:
Hi, I'm calling to ask about emergency financial assistance.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the MDHHS Livingston County - SNAP/Medicaid/Emergency Assistance program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Income-based eligibility for all programs, Livingston County residents?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Mon-Fri 8am-5pm. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm — is this service free of charge?
What is the best way to get started? I see call 517-546-9600 or apply online at newmibridges.michigan.gov.
Thank you so much for your help.
