I can only offer 3ish year old anecdotal evidence, but the last time I had to apply for SNAP and Husky I just went in person without doing online first. I was there for a few hours, but once they brought me in it was super easy and I left with everything activated on the spot (just had to wait for my EBT card to come in the mail since I had lost my old one).

Now, that was pre-Covid so I have no idea if it’s all different now. Just a tip though, if you do go in, make sure to bring ID and a couple pieces of mail with you, plus if you can find something showing what you pay for rent (I think a letter from your landlord works).

Once you get all that up and running it’s really easy to do your reevaluations online. I just renewed my insurance a couple months ago and the website was pretty easy to deal with.
