Personal care is a service that provides hands-on help with everyday tasks. Personal care services help beneficiaries perform everyday tasks and can be tailored to assist with a beneficiary's unique physical dependency needs. These tasks are called activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living.

Independent evaluators found that Family Centered Treatment (FCT) achieved high rates of family stability and significantly reduced out of home placements for participating children. From Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2025 alone, more than 500 Arkansas families enrolled in FCT services. Among families who completed these services, 97% reported that FCT improved their family life, and only 6% required a higher level of care at discharge.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

The Arkansas Department of Human Services will require all Summer EBT recipients to reset the PIN numbers associated with their cards in response to reports of thefts of these benefits from out-of-state scammers.

Eligible families should reset their PINs through the EBT call line at 1-800-997-9999 or through the online portal linked at ar.gov/summerebt effective immediately. The cards will not work until this additional step has been completed in order to prevent additional fraudulent activity.
