ApplyMN

is a new, secure 
online way to apply for cash assistance, food support, health care, and child care. The agency processing time frames are the same if you apply online, 
in-person or by mail.

If you live in Hennepin County and need help paying child care costs, call us at 612-348-5937. Based on your answers to a few questions, we will:

  • Mail a child care application packet,
  • Add your name to a waiting list (if funds are not available), or
  • Tell you why you are not eligible at this time

Fill out and return the application forms. You must send proofs such as address, identity, income, work schedule and school schedule.

Applications are processed within 30 days. Your child care provider must be registered with Hennepin County. It takes 4-6 weeks to become registered.
