    The Shapiro Administration believes in listening to Pennsylvanians with intellectual disabilities and autism (ID/A) and giving them a seat at the table. This commitment extends beyond ID/A services to broader disability inclusion and workforce opportunities.

    Scam Alert Reminder: DHS will never call or text an individual to request personal information. Please report any suspicious texts or calls about DHS benefits by calling the DHS fraud tip line at 1-844-DHS-TIPS (1-844-347-8477). Learn more: dhs.pa.gov/scams
    A woman answers a phone. The caller is 888-904-4861 - looks like a hacker. Says, if you don’t call us back and provide your EBT number, your benefits will be suspended! The woman knows this is a scam. No, she says! NO! You’re not “Pennsylvania EBT Customer Service!” This is a SCAM! PA Human Services would never call to ask me for my EBT number or PIN!

    Did you know? Stable housing can serve as a bridge for homeless adults with chronic illnesses, leading to a nearly 30% reduction in hospital stays. That’s why Governor Shapiro included Investments in Health in the 2026-2027 proposed budget.
