WA DSHS
Washington Connection is a free, secure state portal that lets households apply for and manage a range of DSHS, DCYF, and HCA public benefits in one place. Through the portal you can run a 'See If I Qualify' prescreener, start a new application, renew (eligibility review), report changes, complete a mid-certification review (MCR), and upload verification documents via the Document Upload Portal. A companion mobile-friendly site, MyWABenefits, lets users track application status, view interview details, and opt into text/email reminders. DSHS also accepts applications by phone (877-501-2233), in person at a local Community Services Office, or by mail/fax of the printable Application for Benefits (form 14-001), which is published in English plus Cambodian, Chinese, Korean, Laotian, Russian, Somali, Spanish, Tagalog, Tigrinya, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.
