The Department of Health says that this portal will streamline the process for many Alaskans seeking public assistance.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - The Alaska Department of Health recently announced the launch of the new online Alaska Connect Portal , which spans all of the Division of Public Assistance programs.
For the many Alaskans who use any form of public assistance, including medical services such as Medicaid or Medicare, or nutrition assistance such as the SNAP or WIC programs, this means one single online location to access information related to all of your programs. Users can access this new portal by signing up for a Myalaska account, or using their existing Myalaska sign-in.
The Department of Health says that they hope this new and streamlined option will prove more user-friendly and modern than the previous methods of accessing public programs. They say that users can access the Alaska Connect Portal to apply for public assistance programs, renew their benefits, report any changes and upload documents all in the same place.
The Department says more improvements to the program will be on the way in the future. These will hopefully include features such as the ability to review your notices, application statuses, and benefits. Alaskans who are already receiving medical or nutrition assistance - don’t worry, re-applying is not necessary. The Department of Health says that all of Alaskans’ account information is ready to access on the new portal. If you do not want to sign up for the new online portal, you will still have access to all of their services through the previous routes, including the separate service websites and offices.
