You can go to the Pennino Building at the government center, and apply in person on their kiosks there M-F 8-4:30. The center is on the 2nd floor.
Once you apply, they are quick to get you an appointment, usually within 2-3 days of application. If they have time they might even take you while you are there.
DO Bring birth certificates for yourself and all kids, social security, id's, and any bank statements or whatever, they will check all IDs. Once they are comfy you are under the financial guidelines, you are in. Once they say approved, your card will show in the mail. All in all from application to card in hand, expect to wait 2 weeks.
I used them last year when I hit hard times and got laid off. It was a lifesaver. I am glad it is there for us working class folk.
