Where the links come from

Every office name and link in the lists is USAGov’s, copied by a program from its page for each place on October 7, 2026. We wrote the row labels and chose which rows to show.
We left out governors (names go out of date), agriculture departments and prosecutors. Each list ends with a link to USAGov’s full page.
USAGov lists 59 places: the 50 states, the District of Columbia, five U.S. territories, and three island nations in free association with the United States. Some have fewer offices listed than others.
On October 7, 2026 a program opened all 607 different links on this page: 543 opened; 46 refused the program or did not answer (many government sites block automated visitors, and may open fine for you); and 18 answered “page not found.” Those 18 carry a note. The program only saw that a page opened, not what it says.

What this page can’t do

It cannot say what your state’s rules are, whether you qualify for anything, or which office handles your exact problem. The office itself decides and answers that.
It lists state offices. Much help is run by a county, a city or a tribe; the “Cities and counties” row and 211 are the way to those.
An office name here is how USAGov shortens it. The office’s own site has its full name, hours and phone numbers.
It is not legal, medical or money advice.

Before you call or go

Call script: plan what to say, and what to ask, before the call.
Paper trail: write down every call, letter and visit, with names and dates.
Dates to keep: put any deadline on a list first.
What does that word mean?: official definitions for words on forms and letters.
Start here: not sure which guide fits? Answer up to three questions.

Private by design

All 59 lists are already on this page. Picking a place only hides the others.
Your choice is not saved and is not sent anywhere, and the page never asks your browser where you are.
The place you pick is put after the # in the address bar, so you can bookmark it or pass it on, like /your-state/#nj. Browsers do not send that part to a server.
This page runs no analytics or tracking. How we handle privacy. The offices’ own sites have their own rules.

If you or someone else is in danger right now, call 911. If you are thinking about ending your life, call or text 988 (in the U.S.), or open Get help now.

A directory, not advice. This page is general information. It does not replace a lawyer, a doctor, a caseworker or the office itself.

This page, its row labels and the links to our own guides were made with AI (Claude) for Scarlet Beast (our AI policy). The office names and links are USAGov’s, as read on October 7, 2026; a program copies them, so we did not retype any. No person at Scarlet Beast has opened every link by hand, no government office has reviewed this page, and offices move their pages: the lists may have changed since. Scarlet Beast is not part of, or endorsed by, USAGov or any government. Also in Spanish: Las oficinas de tu estado. Found a dead link or a mistake? Email [email protected].
