ACCESS:  Your Key to Health, Nutrition and Other Programs

Advocates and Community Partners

There are many ways your agency can use ACCESS to help people in need.

Staff and volunteers can use ACCESS when clients call or visit your agency.  Here is a short PowerPoint file that will show you how to use the ACCESS Apply for Benefits tool.  You can:

  • Make a computer available in your office so that families and individuals can use ACCESS on a walk-in or by appointment basis.

  • Provide clients with the internet address to ACCESS or add a link to ACCESS on your agency’s web site. 

  • Help spread the word about ACCESS by telling clients, colleagues, friends and others.  Learn more on how to order publications.

If you'd like to practice using the ACCESS Apply For Benefits tool, go to http://trn.access.wisconsin.gov/access/. This is a test version of the ACCESS site that will let you practice applying for benefits. Keep in mind that you should only use this to practice. The application you complete will NOT be sent to a local agency for processing. If you want to use ACCESS to actually apply for benefits, go to http://access.wisconsin.gov.
