Completed my entire app taking at least 30 minutes of redundant questions only to get a message that the app timed out. I can't save or submit. I can't even describe the level of disrespect and disregard it feels like. But sense when does the government actually care for anyone's time.

DHS is the worst in DC customer service can't even get you to the right person to speak to. They continuously lose your application, I have filled out so many applications for Medicaid was approved then not approved then was approved then not approved. Niw they can't find the application. it's just terrible
