Maryland Benefits Portals for Seniors

Last updated: 7 April 2026

Bottom line: Maryland does not have one perfect senior-only portal for every benefit. For most food, cash, energy, and many Medical Assistance tasks, the main place to start is MarylandBenefits.gov. But many older adults still need a second official system, Maryland Health Connection, or hands-on help from Maryland Access Point, a local department of social services, a local health department, or a local Home Energy Program office.

That matters because many Google results still mix old names like myMDTHINK or myDHR with today’s portal name. Maryland officially renamed the public consumer portal to MarylandBenefits.gov in June 2025, and the old mymdthink.maryland.gov address now redirects there. Some state PDFs still use the old name, especially for long-term care instructions, so seniors should not assume the older label means a different system.

Emergency help now

• If you have little or no money for food, file a signed SNAP application today through MarylandBenefits.gov or ask your local department of social services for an application. Some households can get expedited SNAP within 7 days.
• If your heat or electric service is at risk, apply for Maryland energy assistance through OHEP right away. You do not need a turn-off notice to qualify, and you can also call your local Home Energy Program office.
• If a deadline is this week and the portal is failing, call instead of waiting: DHS at 1-800-332-6347 or Maryland Health Connection at 1-855-642-8572. Ask how to protect the filing date and what backup option to use today.

Quick help

• Fastest first step: Use the Maryland Benefits screener. The state says it usually takes under 5 minutes.
• Need multiple benefits at once: Use the Maryland Benefits One Application for SNAP, Medicaid, cash help, WIC, and energy assistance.
• Need health coverage help: Call Maryland Health Connection at 1-855-642-8572.
• Need long-term care, assisted living, meals, caregiver help, or local aging support: Call Maryland Access Point at 1-844-627-5465.
• Need energy help in Baltimore City: Call the Baltimore City Community Action Partnership at 410-396-6406 or 410-396-5555.

What this help actually looks like in Maryland

Start by typing the official address yourself: MarylandBenefits.gov. Maryland’s modernized benefits platform now combines a short eligibility screener with a mobile-friendly One Application. The state reported more than 236,000 screener completions and more than 248,000 One Application submissions by December 31, 2025.

But Maryland’s system is still split in important ways. MarylandBenefits.gov is the main door for low-income public benefits. Maryland Health Connection is still the official health coverage marketplace and a common place to handle coverage notices, document requests, and plan changes. Maryland Access Point is the better front door for many older-adult supports that are not fully handled inside the benefits portal, such as meals, caregiver help, Medicare counseling, assisted living subsidy questions, and long-term services and supports planning.

The official benefits portal seniors should use in this state

For most low-income seniors in Maryland, the official benefits portal to start with is MarylandBenefits.gov. That is the current public name for the old myMDTHINK customer portal. You may also see MarylandBenefits.org, which is a real Maryland partner landing page that sends people into the official system, but the safest address to type yourself is the .gov site.

Need	Best Maryland starting point	Why this is the right door	Best backup if online fails
SNAP, cash help, OHEP, and many Medical Assistance tasks	MarylandBenefits.gov	Main state portal for screening, applying, uploading documents, renewals, and case status	Local Department of Social Services office finder or 1-800-332-6347
Marketplace coverage, Medicaid notices, health document requests, or plan changes	Maryland Health Connection	Official health coverage marketplace with My Inbox notices, navigator help, and mobile document upload	Navigator finder or 1-855-642-8572
Nursing home Medicaid, waiver-style long-term care, or complex elder-care planning	MarylandBenefits.gov plus local office help	Long-term care Medical Assistance can be filed online, but many cases need local health department or DSS follow-up	County health department phone list or local DSS finder
Meals, caregiver help, assisted living subsidy, Medicare counseling, or local aging services	Maryland Access Point	Best statewide gateway for aging and disability services that are outside the main portal	Call 1-844-627-5465 or use the local MAP office list
Heating or electric bill help when local rules differ by county	Local Home Energy Program office finder	Maryland’s energy help is local on the ground; the intake office can be a DSS office, CAP center, or community action agency	Call 1-800-332-6347 or your local OHEP office directly

Quick facts

• Best immediate takeaway: Start at MarylandBenefits.gov, not an outdated myMDTHINK article.
• One major rule: If you already have a DHS case, you may need to link your case with a Head of Household PIN before you can manage it online.
• One realistic obstacle: That PIN is mailed to the address already on file, so an old mailing address can slow everything down.
• One useful fact: Maryland says eligible SNAP households with someone age 60 or older now get at least $50 per month, thanks to a state supplement.
• Best next step: Gather ID, income proof, address proof, Social Security numbers, utility bills, and any recent notices before you start.

Simple who qualifies section

You do not have to be a computer expert to use Maryland’s benefits system, but you do need the right doorway. In plain language, this guide is most useful for:

• Maryland seniors with low income or fixed income.
• Older adults age 60 and over applying for food, energy, Medicaid, or other public benefits.
• Adults age 65 and over who need Medical Assistance, long-term care help, or Medicare cost assistance.
• Caregivers, spouses, adult children, and authorized representatives helping a senior apply.
• Grandparents raising grandchildren who may need SNAP, Medicaid, WIC, or cash help in the same household.

If a senior does not use email, cannot open an activation link, cannot receive a passcode, or has memory problems that make login recovery hard, phone or in-person help is usually the better path. That is especially true for long-term care cases, nursing home cases, and any situation involving asset transfers, trusts, or spouse protections.

What programs a senior can apply for through the portal

Maryland’s One Application lets people apply for several programs in one place. The most senior-relevant ones are SNAP, Medical Assistance, and OHEP energy assistance. The same portal also covers cash assistance programs such as Temporary Cash Assistance, Temporary Disability Assistance Program, and Public Assistance to Adults, which may matter for some older adults or caregiver households.

There is one important Maryland catch: the screener is broader than the application. The Maryland Benefits screener can also point people toward Maryland Access Point, medication assistance from the Maryland Department of Aging, and the Department of Housing and Community Development Energy Savings Program. But a referral from the screener does not always mean the whole case can be finished inside MarylandBenefits.

Best programs or options in Maryland

MarylandBenefits.gov One Application and consumer portal

• What it is: Maryland’s main online benefits platform for screening, applying, uploading proof, renewals, and case tracking.
• Who can get it or use it: Seniors applying for food, cash, energy, and many Medical Assistance programs, plus caregivers and authorized representatives.
• How it helps: It lets people apply for multiple benefits in one form and manage ongoing cases from one dashboard.
• How to apply or use it: Go to MarylandBenefits.gov, use the screener if needed, create an account, then complete the One Application or choose a service from the portal.
• What to gather or know first: You need working email access for account setup. If you already have a DHS case, you may also need to link that case with a Head of Household PIN.

Maryland Health Connection

• What it is: Maryland’s official health coverage portal.
• Who can get it or use it: Seniors who are not on Medicare yet, retirees needing marketplace coverage, households with Medicaid notices, and anyone told to upload health coverage documents through My Inbox.
• How it helps: It offers online enrollment, document upload, mobile app upload, renewals for private plans, and free help in more than 200 languages.
• How to apply or use it: Apply online, by phone at 1-855-642-8572, with free local help, or through the Enroll MHC mobile app.
• What to gather or know first: Keep your application ID, current income details, address, Social Security numbers, and any coverage notices.

Long Term Care Medical Assistance

• What it is: Maryland Medicaid coverage for nursing home care and some long-term care pathways.
• Who can get it or use it: Seniors who may need nursing facility care, waiver-style support, or a caregiver applying on the senior’s behalf.
• How it helps: It can cover costly long-term care, but it often requires more records than a standard online application, including a five-year resource look-back.
• How to apply or use it: File online through MarylandBenefits.gov or use the paper long-term care application through your local health department or local DSS. For Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, and Prince George’s County, the state says applications are handled through the Office of Long Term Care in Catonsville.
• What to gather or know first: Collect bank records, insurance policies, deeds, trust papers, proof of income, and spouse information before you start.

Office of Home Energy Programs (OHEP)

• What it is: Maryland’s energy-assistance system, including help with heating and electric costs.
• Who can get it or use it: Low-income homeowners and renters, including older adults on Social Security or pension income.
• How it helps: It can help with current bills, shutoff prevention, and in some cases arrears. You can receive energy help once each program year, which runs from July through June.
• How to apply or use it: Apply through MarylandBenefits.gov, by phone, by mail, at a drop box, or in person through your local Home Energy Program office.
• What to gather or know first: You will usually need photo ID, address proof, Social Security number proof for household members, income proof for the last 30 days, and your most recent utility and heating bills.

Maryland Access Point, SHIP, and aging-network help

• What it is: Maryland’s main aging and disability help network for benefits counseling and service referrals.
• Who can get it or use it: Older adults, people with disabilities, caregivers, and adult children helping a senior.
• How it helps: MAP helps with local service navigation, meals, caregiver resources, assisted living subsidy questions, and long-term supports. SHIP helps with Medicare, Extra Help, and prescription plan questions.
• How to apply or use it: Call Maryland Access Point at 1-844-627-5465, use the local MAP office list, or contact Maryland SHIP at 1-800-243-3425 or 410-767-1100.
• What to gather or know first: Keep recent notices, Medicare cards, managed care plan cards, and a short list of the problem you want solved.

How to apply or use without wasting time

• Pick the right doorway first: Use MarylandBenefits for food, energy, cash help, and many Medical Assistance cases. Use Maryland Health Connection for health coverage account problems and many Medicaid document requests. Use MAP for aging-service cases.
• Gather proof before login: Put paper records on a table and take clear photos now.
• Submit early if food is urgent: For SNAP, Maryland will accept a signed application the same day even if the interview happens later.
• Create only one account: Do not keep making new accounts because you forgot a password.
• Link your case if needed: If you are an existing DHS customer, use the portal’s case-linking steps and request the Head of Household PIN if the case is not visible.
• Upload proof right away: Missing proof is one of the most common reasons cases stall.
• Watch both places: Check the online dashboard and your mailed notices. Some seniors miss deadlines because they only watch one.
• Save what you send: Keep screenshots, confirmation pages, and copies of uploaded files.

How to create an account step by step

For MarylandBenefits, the state’s current quick-start steps are simple, but seniors should expect two email actions: an activation link first, then a passcode after sign-in.

• Go to MarylandBenefits.gov.
• Click Create Account.
• Click Create Account again on the next page.
• Choose whether you are applying for yourself or for someone else.
• Enter your email address and create a strong password.
• Fill in your personal information.
• Open your email and click the activation link.
• Sign in and enter the emailed passcode.

If you are helping a parent or another senior, choose the option for applying for someone else. For long-term care cases, Maryland also has separate instructions for authorized representatives inside the portal.

How seniors can upload proof documents

In MarylandBenefits: after you sign in and your case is linked, go to Customer Documents, then Customer Docs, then View & Upload Files. Pick the household member, choose the document type, and upload the file.

In Maryland Health Connection: log in and use the upload link in My Inbox. The state also says you can use the Enroll MHC mobile app to take a picture and submit proof from your phone. If the site says your file is not legible, retake the photo in good light, hold the camera steady, and use a dark background behind the paper.

For OHEP energy cases: if you apply by phone or through a local office, Maryland says documents do not have to be scanned. Clear photos are acceptable as long as the text is readable.

How to renew benefits online

Maryland uses the exact labels My Redetermination and My Benefits Review Forms inside MarylandBenefits. In the DHS portal, My Redetermination is used for a 12-month recertification, while My Benefits Review Forms is used for a 6-month review. If you do not submit the required review by the end of the certification period, the case can close.

For Maryland Health Connection, private health plan renewals run during open enrollment from November 1 through January 15. Medicaid and Maryland Children’s Health Program renewals generally happen every 12 months, and many enrollees do not need to do anything unless they receive a notice telling them to renew or update information.

If you are an existing DHS customer and the renewal section is blank, check whether your case is actually linked. If not, request the Head of Household PIN. Maryland’s official PIN instructions say that PIN is mailed to the address on file, so do not wait until the last week.

How to check application status

Inside MarylandBenefits, sign in, choose Login to MarylandBenefits.gov, then select View Your Program Details. Choose the assistance program you want to check, and the portal should show the current status on the consumer dashboard.

Energy assistance has one extra Maryland step. The official FY2026 OHEP application says you can check your status at myohepstatus.org, but you should allow about 15 days from submission before the application appears there.

For Maryland Health Connection, watch the account dashboard and My Inbox. That is where the state posts document requests and many other follow-up notices.

What to do if a senior forgets login information

For MarylandBenefits: click Sign In, then Login to MarylandBenefits.gov, then I’ve forgotten my password. Enter the username, send the passcode, get the passcode from email, and follow the prompts to create a new password.

For Maryland Health Connection: use the Forgot Your User ID or Password option. If the account does not have the right email or cell number, or the senior has forgotten both the user ID and email, call 1-855-642-8572.

If a senior no longer uses the email account tied to the portal, stop trying random resets. Call the correct help line or go in person. Repeated failed attempts can waste time when a deadline is close.

When seniors should apply online vs by phone vs in person

Situation	Best method	Why
Simple SNAP, OHEP, or Medicaid application with documents ready and a working email	Online	Fastest way to submit and upload proof in one sitting
Renewal is due and the case already shows in MarylandBenefits	Online	Use My Redetermination or My Benefits Review Forms right away
No email, no printer, poor eyesight, memory issues, or repeated login trouble	Phone or in person	Maryland’s portals depend heavily on email and passcodes
Nursing home Medicaid, waiver help, trust or asset questions, or spouse-at-home planning	In person or with counselor help	These cases are too easy to mishandle online
Power shutoff, no food, or deadline within days	Phone plus same-day backup	Call first, then file online or in person that day so the date is protected
Need interpreter, relay, or disability accommodation	Phone or in person	DHS and Maryland Health Connection both offer free language and accessibility support

What documents to scan or upload before starting

Most Maryland seniors save time by gathering these items first:

• Photo ID.
• Proof of Maryland address.
• Social Security numbers or documents showing them for everyone in the household.
• Proof of all household income for the last 30 days, or the most recent award letter for Social Security, SSI, pension, unemployment, or other income.
• Most recent electric bill and heating bill if applying for OHEP.
• Rent receipt, lease, mortgage statement, or property tax bill if shelter costs matter.
• Recent medical expense records if someone in the SNAP household is age 60 or older.
• Medicare card, Medicaid card, or current health plan card.
• Any recent state notice asking for proof, renewal, or an interview.
• For long-term care cases, bank and asset records, life insurance values, deeds, and trust papers.

Printable checklist before a senior starts an online application

• ☐ I know which Maryland system I need: MarylandBenefits, Maryland Health Connection, or MAP.
• ☐ I have the senior’s legal name, date of birth, address, and Social Security number.
• ☐ I have a working email address that the senior or helper can open today.
• ☐ I have clear photos or scans of income, address, and utility documents.
• ☐ I have the latest state notice, if this is a renewal or follow-up.
• ☐ I know whether the case is already open and may need a Head of Household PIN.
• ☐ I wrote down the best backup phone number before I start.
• ☐ I can stay with the application long enough to finish, or I will save screenshots as I go.

Common portal problems older adults face

• The case will not show up: often this means the case has not been linked yet and the Head of Household PIN is still needed.
• The upload button seems to be missing: in Maryland Health Connection, uploads often happen through My Inbox when proof is requested.
• The portal uses old names: some forms still say myMDTHINK even though the public portal is now MarylandBenefits.gov.
• The senior cannot access old email: that makes both activation and password recovery harder.
• The photo upload fails: blurry utility bills and cropped award letters are common reasons for delay.

Reality checks

• Deadlines still matter even when the site is frustrating: Maryland says cases can close if the required redetermination or review form is not submitted by the end of the certification period.

• Long-term care is not a quick upload case: nursing home and waiver cases often need a lot more financial records than seniors expect.

• Energy assistance is local: the right office depends on where the senior lives. Baltimore City uses CAP Centers, while other counties may use DSS or a community action agency.

• Call volumes can be rough: Maryland Health Connection says Monday is its busiest day, so seniors may wait longer then.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Waiting for every document before filing a SNAP application when food is urgent.
• Using the wrong portal for the problem.
• Creating a second or third account because the first login failed.
• Waiting too long to request the Head of Household PIN.
• Mailing Maryland Health Connection documents without the application ID.
• Ignoring mailed notices because the portal “looked fine.”
• Paying someone who claims they can “unlock” or “speed up” a free state application.

How to avoid fake websites and scams

Use only official or clearly state-linked sites. For low-income benefits, use MarylandBenefits.gov. For health coverage, use MarylandHealthConnection.gov. For aging support, use Maryland Access Point.

Never pay a fee to apply for Maryland Health Connection coverage. The exchange says its enrollment help is free, and it tells consumers to report anyone charging a fee or pretending to be official. If you suspect fraud tied to Maryland Health Connection, call the compliance hotline at 410-547-6862.

Watch for EBT scams. Maryland DHS warns about texts and calls claiming an EBT card is locked and asking for the card number or PIN. If that happens, use only the official Maryland EBT line, 1-800-997-2222, and the official instructions on the DHS EBT fraud page.

Where to get help using the portal

• DHS benefits help: call 1-800-332-6347 or use the local DHS office finder.
• Language help through DHS: interpreter services are free at 1-800-332-6347. Maryland Relay is 7-1-1 or 1-800-735-2258.
• Health coverage help: call Maryland Health Connection at 1-855-642-8572 or use the official navigator finder.
• Long-term care and aging support: call Maryland Access Point at 1-844-627-5465.
• Medicare counseling: call Maryland SHIP at 1-800-243-3425 or 410-767-1100.

Best local office to call if the online system fails

• Food, cash, standard Medicaid, or case-linking problem: start with DHS at 1-800-332-6347, then use the local DSS office finder.
• Energy assistance problem: use the local Home Energy Program office finder. In Baltimore City, call 410-396-6406 or 410-396-5555.
• Health coverage or Maryland Health Connection login problem: call 1-855-642-8572.
• Nursing home Medicaid or waiver problem: use the county health department phone list or the local DSS finder.
• Older-adult services not really handled by the portal: call MAP at 1-844-627-5465.

Best options by need

• Need groceries: Start with MarylandBenefits for SNAP. If the household includes someone age 60 or older, Maryland’s state supplement can bring an eligible household up to at least $50 a month.
• Need help with Medicare premiums or drug costs: Use SHIP first, then ask about the Medicare Savings Program, Extra Help, and Maryland drug-cost assistance pathways.
• Need heat or electric help: Apply for OHEP and call the local energy office, especially if a shutoff notice is close.
• Need nursing home or home-care Medicaid: Use MarylandBenefits only as the first step and get local office or counselor help early.
• Need meals, caregiver help, or assisted living guidance: Call Maryland Access Point first.

What to do if denied, delayed, or blocked

• Read the notice carefully: look for what proof is missing, what program is affected, and what deadline the state gave you.
• Call the right office with a short script: “I am checking on a MarylandBenefits or Maryland Health Connection case. Please tell me whether the case is linked, what proof is still missing, and what deadline I must meet.”
• If the system will not let you upload: ask whether you should mail, fax, or hand-deliver proof, and ask how to label it so it matches the case.
• If food is urgent: ask whether the household should be screened for expedited SNAP.
• If the case involves Medicare costs: call the Maryland Department of Health Medicare Savings Program line at 1-800-638-3403.
• If the problem is really elder-care navigation: call MAP at 1-844-627-5465 instead of staying stuck in the benefits portal.
• If you disagree with the decision: use the review or appeal instructions on the notice right away and keep copies of everything.

Plan B / backup options

• Ask your local DSS office to mail or hand you a paper SNAP or assistance application the same day.
• If everyone in the household gets or is applying for SSI, ask whether SNAP can be filed through the Social Security district office.
• For OHEP, apply by phone, mail, drop box, or in person if the portal is failing.
• For Maryland Health Connection, use a free navigator instead of struggling alone.
• For long-term services, skip the portal fight and call MAP.

Local resources

• Maryland Department of Human Services: 1-800-332-6347; local office finder.
• Office of Home Energy Programs: local office finder.
• Maryland Access Point: 1-844-627-5465; local MAP office list.
• Maryland Health Connection: 1-855-642-8572; navigator finder.
• Maryland SHIP Medicare counseling: 1-800-243-3425 or 410-767-1100.
• County health departments: use the Maryland county health department phone list.

Diverse communities

Seniors with Disabilities

Maryland’s official systems offer accessibility help, but the better move is often to ask for it early. DHS offers free language services and relay options, Maryland Health Connection offers Relay and accessibility protections, and MAP can help seniors find local long-term supports, equipment help, and other services that sit outside the portal.

Immigrant and Refugee Seniors

DHS says interpreter services are free. Maryland Health Connection also says it provides free language help and that health coverage application information is protected by law and is not shared with another agency just because a family member is in the process of deportation. Seniors who want trusted help should use an official navigator or MAP counselor, not a random website or social media contact.

Rural Seniors with Limited Access

Phone and mail options matter in Western Maryland and on the Shore. OHEP accepts phone applications with documents mailed or emailed later, Maryland Health Connection has regional navigator groups by county, and MAP has a statewide line that routes older adults to local counselors who know the area.

Frequently asked questions

Is MarylandBenefits.gov the official Maryland benefits portal for seniors?

Yes. For most low-income public benefits, the official place to start is MarylandBenefits.gov. Maryland renamed the old myMDTHINK customer portal to MarylandBenefits.gov in June 2025, and the old address now redirects there. You may still see older PDFs and help pages using the old name.

Can a senior apply for SNAP, Medicaid, and energy assistance in one Maryland application?

Often, yes. Maryland’s One Application was built so people can apply for several benefits at once, including SNAP, Medical Assistance, cash help, WIC, and OHEP energy assistance. But not every aging-related service is fully inside that application, so seniors may still need MAP, SHIP, or a local office for some follow-up.

Why is MarylandBenefits asking for a Head of Household PIN?

That usually means the senior already has a DHS case and the online account is not linked yet. Maryland’s official instructions say existing customers may need to link the case with a Head of Household PIN, and the state’s PIN process says the PIN is mailed to the address on file. If the mailing address is old, call DHS right away.

How do I upload proof in Maryland if I cannot scan documents?

You often do not need a scanner. In MarylandBenefits, you can upload files after linking the case. In Maryland Health Connection, you can upload through My Inbox or use the Enroll MHC app to take pictures with your phone. For OHEP, Maryland says clear photos are acceptable if the text is readable.

What if I forgot my MarylandBenefits password and no longer use the old email?

Try the official password reset only if you can still access the email account tied to the profile. If you cannot, stop guessing and call DHS at 1-800-332-6347. If the problem is actually a Maryland Health Connection account, call 1-855-642-8572, especially if the senior forgot both the user ID and email.

Should seniors use Maryland Health Connection instead of MarylandBenefits?

Sometimes. Use Maryland Health Connection when the problem is marketplace coverage, a health-plan renewal, or a document request in My Inbox. Use MarylandBenefits first for SNAP, OHEP, cash help, and many Medical Assistance applications. A lot of Maryland seniors end up using both systems at different times.

Where can a family get real human help in Maryland?

For public benefits, call DHS at 1-800-332-6347. For health coverage, call Maryland Health Connection at 1-855-642-8572. For aging, long-term care, assisted living subsidy questions, meals, or caregiver help, call Maryland Access Point at 1-844-627-5465. For Medicare counseling, call SHIP at 1-800-243-3425.

How can Maryland seniors avoid benefit scams?

Use official addresses, do not pay for free application help, and do not trust texts claiming an EBT card was locked. Maryland Health Connection says enrollment help is free and provides a fraud hotline. DHS warns that fake texts and calls try to steal EBT card numbers and PINs, so use only the official EBT number, 1-800-997-2222, when checking a card problem.

Resumen en español

En Maryland, el portal principal para beneficios públicos es MarylandBenefits.gov. Allí muchas personas mayores pueden solicitar SNAP, ayuda médica y asistencia de energía. Pero no todo se maneja en un solo sitio. Para problemas de cobertura médica, avisos de Medicaid, o documentos de seguro, muchas veces hay que usar Maryland Health Connection.

Si la persona mayor necesita ayuda con cuidado a largo plazo, comidas, apoyo para cuidadores, subsidio de vivienda asistida, o ayuda con Medicare, conviene llamar a Maryland Access Point al 1-844-627-5465. Si el portal falla, llame a DHS al 1-800-332-6347 o a Maryland Health Connection al 1-855-642-8572. Para asistencia con facturas de luz o calefacción, use la lista oficial de oficinas locales de OHEP. Si necesita servicios de idioma, Maryland ofrece ayuda gratuita por teléfono.
