Minor children, dependents, guardians, and intimate partners living in the household of an eligible applicant are covered by Maryland’s ACP.
How does the application process work?
Maryland’s ACP applicants must apply with an approved application assistant when filling out the application. Additionally, some form of proof of their victimization may be required, although action with law enforcement is not required.
