Can a new resident in Phoenix, AZ qualify for food stamps and health insurance right away


Can a new resident in Phoenix, AZ qualify for food stamps and health insurance right away?
I am moving to Arizona, Phoenix and need health insurance and public assistance right away. Is there a waiting period to qualify? Thank you for your help.

Sure you can apply right away, if you have a case open in another state you will need to close it. Don't worry they have to give you 10 day notice so in most cases you end up getting your assistance for an extra month from the old state. The new state will need to verify that your case is closed in the old state, so you can get a letter from the old state or the new state can call your worker in the old state. You can only get food stamps, Tanf, and child care in one state at a time. So if you had food stamps in your old state in August then Arizona wont issue you more until September, but don't wait to apply because it can take a few weeks to be approved and you don't want a delay in benefits. You can have medicaid in two states at the same time because usually medicaid in one state wont pay for medical treatment in another.
