Nevada Welfare Division goes digital for COVID-19 response, emphasizes online access
CARSON CITY — The Division of Welfare and Supportive Services announced Tuesday additional resources to help applicants use the online benefit portal, Access Nevada, at accessnevada.dwss.nv.gov. The agency is also urging uninsured Nevadans to apply for Medicaid coverage online.
“Access Nevada is the best option to apply for essential benefit programs,” said Steve Fisher, administrator. “You can apply for Nevada Medicaid benefits and nutrition benefits such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program also known as food stamps, and the special supplemental nutrition program for Women, Infants, and Children, or WIC.”
