Morgantown, West Virginia: Disability Resources
On This Page
Morgantown residents can use Monongalia County benefit services, local meal programs, and Mountain Line’s medical-transport option for different practical needs. Transportation and meal enrollment require their own intake steps; neither should be assumed available solely because a person has a disability.
Monongalia County DoHS Office
The Monongalia County DoHS office lists SNAP, Medicaid, long-term-care Medicaid, energy assistance, and other family assistance services. Ask which application fits your household and what documentation is needed. If you already have a case, keep the latest notice and case reference available so staff can address the right issue.
Senior Monongalians Meal Programs
Senior Monongalians offers congregate meals at two Monongalia County locations for people aged 60 and older, with voluntary contributions. Its home-delivered meal program serves eligible adults aged 60 and above who cannot attend a meal site. A brief assessment determines eligibility and nutritional needs. Contact staff about enrollment and delivery availability rather than assuming a nearby meal site covers every address.
Mountain Line NewFIT
NewFIT arranges medical-related trips within Monongalia County for riders without other transportation options. The program says it lacks sustaining funding, so trips depend on availability and demand and may be grouped or partly use regular buses. Medicaid-covered riders are directed to other resources. Complete the onboarding survey, obtain trip approval, and confirm advance payment and scheduling requirements.
Before You Contact a Program
- Use your full residential address to confirm county and delivery coverage.
- For meal enrollment, explain whether you can attend a group meal or need delivery.
- For NewFIT, provide medical appointment and return-trip details and confirm approval before treating the ride as arranged.
Keep Federal Benefits Separate
Community meal and transportation programs do not determine whether you qualify for SSDI or SSI. SSA’s Disability page[1] explains SSDI; SSA’s SSI overview[2] explains SSI. Apply for federal benefits through SSA. Starting a local service application does not file an SSDI or SSI claim.
