ACP Eligibility Checker

5 questions · About 2 minutes · Completely private

Question 1 of 5

Which state do you currently live in?

ACP programs are run by each state. Your state determines which program applies and what the eligibility rules are.

Question 2 of 5

Which of these best describes your situation?

Select the option that most closely applies. You can qualify under more than one — choose the most relevant.

Question 3 of 5

Do you fear that someone knowing your home address would put you or your family at risk?

This is a required certification for all ACP programs. You don't need a police report — this is about your genuine safety concern.

Question 4 of 5

Have you relocated — or are you planning to relocate — to get away from the dangerous situation?

Many states require that you have moved, or intend to move, to a new address that you want to keep private. A few states do not have this requirement.

Question 5 of 5

Do you have any of the following documentation? (optional — helps estimate your application strength)

You do not need any of these to apply in most states — but having them can strengthen your application and sometimes speed processing.

This tool provides general guidance only. Results are based on the most common eligibility patterns across state ACP programs. They are not a determination of actual eligibility, which is made by your state's program. Program rules change — verify current requirements with your state before applying. No information you enter here is stored or transmitted anywhere.
