COVID-19 created changes to public benefits, new financial help and more. Here we keep a list of important changes to help Vermonters and community partners.
For help with rent, utilities, money to move, and other housing expenses, Vermonters applied to the Vermont Emergency Rental Assistance Program (VERAP) through the Vermont State Housing Authority (VSHA).
Do you own your home? Check out the Vermont Property Tax Credit. Do you rent? Look at the Vermont Renter Credit (formerly called the Renter Rebate).
If you are homeless or about to become homeless, you may be eligible for emergency housing.
Children and teens age 18 and younger can eat for free at meal sites all around Vermont this summer. Just drop in!
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says Vermonters lost $10 million to fraud and scams in 2021! 
“Public charge” or the “public charge test” is used by immigration officials to decide whether a person can enter the United States or get a green card.
Many people are required to file tax returns each year, while others choose to file in order to claim credits or other benefits.
Programs are available in Vermont to help you pay utility bills.
Vermonters can now get more financial help than ever before. If you didn’t qualify for financial help in the past, it’s time to look again.
