Don’t bother getting it notarized. The county assistance office doesn’t care about anything notarized. I’m a former supervisor at a CAO. If you have any specific questions you can message me.

It’s pretty close to what 211 already is. If people just call that and explain what they need help with 211 has a list of resources for whatever the issue may be.

If you apply on pennie and you list you have no income it will be transferred to your local county assistance office anyway. It’s a quicker process to apply directly on compass.
Anyone who applies on Pennie, if the data you enter falls in line with being eligible for Medicaid your application is transferred to the CAO. If you misrepresent your income the CAO sends it back to Pennie. Is a viscous cycle so just be 100% honest on your application. And for others reading this (since you have no income) that means gross income, not net.
