EDUCATION
Enrollment of children in public schools is done directly at the schools and is FREE. Visit the closest school and they will tell you how to enroll your children in the corresponding institute.
If you need Information, the Little Rock Department of Education phone number is (501) 682-4475.
HEALTH
When an emergency arises, go to the nearest hospital. No hospital can deny service to a person because they do not have health insurance or money. If you do not have transportation, call 911 (you can ask for a Spanish speaking operator). Ambulance services in the United States are not free, but health insurance covers them. Like hospitals, ambulances cannot deny service to anyone because they do not have health insurance or money.
The Little Rock Health Department phone number is 1-800-462-0599. The address is 4815 W. Markham, Little Rock, AR 72205-3867
FOOD, UNEMPLOYMENT, HEALTH INSURANCE
The Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) offers the possibility to access these and other services, although the application process generally requires a current Social Security number. However, your children born in the United States can apply for them without problem.
Likewise, the duration of the procedures can vary from weeks to months.
DHS offers programs for children, the elderly, individuals with disabilities and low income people. These services include medical care, mental health, addictions and physical therapy, among others. For assistance with minors, options such as childcare, adoption and fostering services are available in addition to the resources needed to report abuse of any form. It also offers financial assistance for people with disabilities, care for the disabled, home assistance and other services.
DHS also processes Food Stamps (SNAP), which are actually a cash value card that can only be used to buy food. Not all food stores accept food stamps.
