Quick answer
- Do this now: log in, open your case, and use Upload documents.
- Online? Yes — upload photos/PDFs in your account.
- Other ways: local HHSC benefits office, or mail/fax (fax for renewals: 877-447-2839).
- Have ready: clear photos or scans of each requested item; keep the original request notice.
What you need
- Your YourTexasBenefits.com username and password (or the Your Texas Benefits mobile app). If you have not created an account, you can register with your case or application number.
- The case or application number from your notice, if you have one.
- Clear photos or PDF scans of each requested document — readable, not blurry, with all four corners visible.
- The request notice itself, so you know exactly which documents were asked for and by when.
Step by step: upload documents
- Log in at YourTexasBenefits.com.
- Open Manage → your case, then choose Upload documents (or respond to the alert asking for proof).
- Select the document type, take a clear photo or attach a PDF, and submit. Make sure names/dates are readable.
- On a phone, allow camera access and photograph each page in good light; submit and confirm you see the uploaded file listed.
Processing time
Uploading does not change the legal decision window (SNAP up to 30 days; Medicaid up to 45 days), but sending requested proof quickly is the most common way to avoid delays and denials for “missing information.”
If a document was not received: re-check your alerts, re-upload, then call 2-1-1 / 1-877-541-7905 to confirm it is attached to your case.
