OpenHand A community tool for finding help you may already qualify for

Tell us what’s going on.
We’ll check what you qualify for.

Describe your situation in your own words — no forms, no account. We check it against real federal program rules (SNAP, Medicaid/CHIP, Medicare, EITC) and hand you a plan: what to apply for, where, and what to have ready.

  • Nothing you type is stored
  • Free — not a government site
  • Works alongside mutual aid

For example: “I'm in Ohio, just me and my two kids, I lost my job last month and we're living on about $1,400 a month right now.” If a disability is part of your situation — physical or mental health (ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and others all count) — naming it helps us point you to the right pathway.

Checking SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare, and EITC — usually under a minute.
