In partnership with the Minnesota Department of Human Services, the Olmsted County Financial Assistance Office determines eligibility for public assistance programs. Applications for food support, cash assistance programs, child care assistance, and public healthcare programs are available at either office location or by calling.

The Public Health Care Programs in Minnesota are Medical Assistance (MA), MinnesotaCare (MCRE), and General Assistance Medical Care (GAMC). 

Medical Assistance is a joint federal-state health care program for low-income parents, children, elderly, or disabled people including subsidized prescription drug benefits and health care coordinated benefits covered under Medicare.  

MinnesotaCare
is a publicly subsidized health insurance program for lower-income state residents who do not have access to affordable health care coverage.  

General Assistance Medical Care
is a state-funded program providing health care to Minnesotans, primarily childless adults, who do not qualify for MA or other state or federal health care programs.
