SELF-RESCUE MANUAL

Table of Contents
Dos and Donts for those of us who need some help! This manual is for people who want to help themselves. You are responsible for bringing photo identification, passport, or some form of identification with a photo, Social Security Numbers of your family, and possibly a proof of address such as an envelope with your current address, if your photo ID does not show your current address. If you are an undocumented citizen, call the agency to determine what information they need to serve you. Many of these agencies accept Medicaid but ask first. It is always best to call first to be sure that the agency has what you need and what you should bring to your appointment. You may get an answering machine so be prepared to have a phone number to leave with the agency. Do not expect same day service. Do not wait until the last minute to deal with something. Thank people who you talk to at the agencies. Often they are volunteers and are not getting paid! Each agency has rules and you may have to return with more information. Stay calm! Many agencies have several services and will have a special star to indicate they are listed under other categories. !
This manual has been a joint effort of many people. Marjie Jacobs decided we needed a user friendly list of services in the Boise Valley. She had help from Barbie Campbell, Suzanne Taylor, Michelle Thomas, Mariah Shafer, Lauren Edson, Deanah Messenger, Melissa Ramundo, Angelina Hasse-Jensen, Scott Crandell, Sandra Stange, Sheri Conrad, and various other social workers. This manual is up-dated monthly except during the summer. The October manual is completely up-dated each year.
