Applying for All Kids: Easier than Counting Sheep (and Probably More Effective)
Here's the good news: applying for All Kids is a breeze, child's play even! You've got a few options, depending on your comfort level with technology (or how good your toddler is at holding a crayon):
- Channel your inner internet whiz: Head over to the All Kids Application website [allkidscovered.com] and fill out the application electronically. It's like online shopping, but for your kid's health (and way less risky than that impulse buy of the light-up yo-yo).
- The paper trail pro: If you're more of a pen-and-paper person, you can request an application to be mailed to you. Just call the All Kids Hotline (1-866-ALL-KIDS - that's 1-866-255-5437) and they'll get one on its way faster than you can say "immunization records."
- Need a human touch? No problem! There are All Kids Application Agents (AKAAs) throughout Illinois who can walk you through the application process. Find one near you by calling the hotline or checking out the All Kids Agent Search (because who needs the stress of playing hide-and-seek with important documents?).
Don't forget! You'll need some documents to complete the application, like proof of income and citizenship for yourself and your child. But don't worry, it's nothing you wouldn't need to wrangle up for other important stuff (like permission slips for that school field trip).
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
