If a Resident is requesting financial assistance and they currently are receiving government assistance- Social Security, Disability, Medicaid, Medicare, we will send you with a flyer informing you of the HSNETX Jarod B. Sanford Endowment Fund. Per flyer instructions, Residents must call APL directly to schedule appointment and verify qualifications. This needs to be YOUR FIRST STOP in getting financial assistance.
