Assistance programs

The Mission of the Division of Economic Assistance is to promote family and individual self sufficiency in an atmosphere of respect and dignity, in a customer oriented environment.

The Economic Assistance Division offers a Call Center as a part of our Client Support Team to better serve those in our growing community. The call center services SNAP and Medical programs but many other resources and contact information is available to help clients with options for self service.

The Call Center phone number is (970)256-2434.  You may call with questions about your benefits as well as to report changes for your case during our Call Center hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays and 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Fridays.
