People looking for general financial assistance.
Also look here for programs on the main NHPB site for local financial help.

Hi,
We are not sure of all the terms you use, like 'Market Place Application'". As that marketplace concept is usually for insurance, such as ACA plans. But as far as the contact information and details on all those options for you, try this for a summary of HHS benefits in TX, as we list the programs and even contact information too. Hopefully that will help you get what you need

But, Unless I have proof of Insurance, my kids can't play sports through school. I don't Know What else To Do, or Where else to Turn?? PLEASE HELP??
I live in Houston TX, 77084 (Harris Co.)
My Husband Lost his job in June 2025 - thanks Trump.
We've Never been in this situation before, So I looked for guidance online, & found "Marketplace Health" Website.
The website informed me, I qualified for TX State Aid Benefits & To Call their Office, if I didn't hear from them in a few days. Which I did, Weekly, & every time I was told the same thing; "It can take up to 30-45 days to receive my, Original
'Market Place Application'"
This went on throughout the entire month of June. At the End of June, I got a Letter from TX Benefits, the Houston Office, Denying my claim. Stating Missed Deadlines"
However, I Had Not Received ANY Mail, Calls, Emails, Etc.!
At that time, I filed a complaint & was advised to re-submit an application Directly with "TX Benefits", Which I did!
It's Now, Aug. & I am being told the same thing.... "They have Not Received my application", Even though I have a screen shot of it Being Processed!!
