Department of Children and Families Access Partnership: DSIL is a community agency that is part of the DCF ACCESS Network, an Automated Community Connection to Economic Self-Sufficiency. DSIL consumers can access public assistance services, i.e., food stamps, Medicaid, and temporary cash assistance. DSIL consumers can get the status of their case, get a list of the items they need to return for the completion of their assessments, get the date and time of their scheduled appointments, and DSIL can print out the consumer's temporary Medicaid card. This partnership allows DSIL to circumvent the sometimes time consuming task of contacting DCF for simple answers.
