    Google Translate Disclaimer

    The Maryland Department of Information Technology (“DoIT”) offers translations of the content through Google Translate. Because Google Translate is an external website, DoIT does not control the quality or accuracy of translated content. All DoIT content is filtered through Google Translate which may result in unexpected and unpredictable degradation of portions of text, images and the general appearance on translated pages. Google Translate may maintain unique privacy and use policies. These policies are not controlled by DoIT and are not associated with DoIT’s privacy and use policies. After selecting a translation option, users will be notified that they are leaving DoIT’s website. Users should consult the original English content on DoIT’s website if there are any questions about the translated content.

    DoIT uses Google Translate to provide language translations of its content. Google Translate is a free, automated service that relies on data and technology to provide its translations. The Google Translate feature is provided for informational purposes only. Translations cannot be guaranteed as exact or without the inclusion of incorrect or inappropriate language. Google Translate is a third-party service and site users will be leaving DoIT to utilize translated content. As such, DoIT does not guarantee and does not accept responsibility for, the accuracy, reliability, or performance of this service nor the limitations provided by this service, such as the inability to translate specific files like PDFs and graphics (e.g. .jpgs, .gifs, etc.).

    DoIT provides Google Translate as an online tool for its users, but DoIT does not directly endorse the website or imply that it is the only solution available to users. All site visitors may choose to use alternate tools for their translation needs. Any individuals or parties that use DoIT content in translated form, whether by Google Translate or by any other translation services, do so at their own risk. DoIT is not liable for any loss or damages arising out of, or issues related to, the use of or reliance on translated content. DoIT assumes no liability for any site visitor’s activities in connection with use of the Google Translate functionality or content.

    The Google Translate service is a means by which DoIT offers translations of content and is meant solely for the convenience of non-English speaking users of the website. The translated content is provided directly and dynamically by Google; DoIT has no direct control over the translated content as it appears using this tool. Therefore, in all contexts, the English content, as directly provided by DoIT is to be held authoritative.

    How to Apply

    ​You can apply for EID on your own or with help from other agencies.  To apply on your own, complete the EID Application​​​​​. Gather the needed documents you have available (see EID Documents to Enclose​).  Print the application, sign and date it, enclose the supporting documents, and mail to:

    Eligibility Determination Division
    EID Program
    Maryland Department of Health
    6 St. Paul Street, 4th Floor
    Baltimore, MD 21202

    The electronic application can be downloaded, completed, printed, and saved.  Although the application must be printed and mailed, it should also be saved on your computer.  When you enroll in EID, you must reapply every six months.  Having the saved application on your computer makes it easy to update the information every six months when you need to reapply.

    What if you need help applying or don’t have a computer? 

    If you are served by a disability agency in Maryland, that agency may be able to help you apply for EID.  Ask them if they can assist you.

    If you are not connected with a disability agency (or if the agencies you are connected with can’t help you apply), you can contact the Center for Independent Living closest to you for free assistance.

    If you have questions about the status of your EID application, you can contact the Eligibility Determination Division (EDD) at 410-767-7090.  EDD determines eligibility for EID.
