Many state websites and phone lines are experiencing extremely high traffic, so if you have difficulty getting to a website or completing your application, here are some tips:

Look for FAQs in your state website; most have specific tips on applying during this busy time.

Be patient and persistent. Continue to attempt to complete your application. Try at different times of the day including early morning or late evening.
