Emergency services in Oklahoma are managed by the Department of Human Services (DHS). OKDHSLive.org serves as the state’s central hub for online benefit applications and management. All of Oklahoma’s safety-net services are still coordinated by the state’s Department of Social Services. According to the department’s website, “continuous service to our clients and the safety of our personnel and the public” are top priorities.
OKDHSLive presently provides access to Oklahoma’s food stamp benefits (SNAP), cash assistance (TANF), medical insurance (SoonerCare), energy assistance (LIHEAP), women, infants, and children (WIC) programme, after school care, and school meals (lunch and breakfast). The benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are the first line of defence against hunger. The electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card helps low-income households buy groceries. To use their SNAP benefits, customers must purchase foods from approved vendors and producers.
