Toll Free 800 Services Offering a Helping Hand To The Public.

For many American citizens with certain specific special needs, entitlements, and benefits, it can be hard to find a helping hand. This includes those who may be disabled, a discharged or disable veteran, a federal employee, or living in disadvantaged conditions. It is unfortunate that today we live in times when transportation, availability, and connectivity can play a major factor in terms of outreach. Fortunately for those within an arm’s reach of a simple phone call, 800 toll free services can help anyone qualified for these much needed benefits—a time-tested practice that continues to work for many in need.

Take for instance the Benefits and Entitlements Services Team (BEST), a service for the United States Air Force offering benefit counseling, health insurance assistance, and other services for Air Force members. The United States Army Benefits Center offers similar services, with even a line for Americans to reach the department from international locations.

In addition, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, an evolution of the Food Stamp Act, has provided a toll free number available 24-hours a day, 7 days a week since April of 1999.  With an 800 toll free number available in each state, not only does the service provide a means for customers to inquire about SNAP benefits, but also for community organizers, faith based initiatives, students, teachers, and fellow federal agencies interested in learning about eligibility, nutritional benefits, and informational material.

But these services aren’t just limited to the public sector. Charities and rescue organizations have successfully relied on the assistance and accessibility of 800 toll free services across the board. In many ways, it still brings many advantages in communication—even in the age of social media. If you have questions or concerns or found yourself in need of outreach, the 800 toll free number is still the preferred means of getting a direct person-to-person response at the push of a button.
