The fax line each Louisiana agency publishes for Medicaid and CHIP, SNAP, unemployment, state leave benefits, and state tax, with what that office asks you to put on every page.

Fax Your Documents

10 pages free every month. No credit card.

Where to fax it

2 of the 4 Louisiana agencies below publish a fax line for their documents, and 2 publish only lines for a particular form or an appeal. Call the number in the row before you send.

The office asks for your case number on every page. Put it on every page you send, and keep the fax receipt. An office that cannot match a page to a case has to set it aside, and the receipt is what proves you sent it before the deadline.

Call before you send. Agency fax lines change and some stop answering. A short call confirms the number and whether that office is the one holding your case.

What the fax costs on FaxTerra

This is what FaxTerra charges to send it. It is not a fee the office charges.

Sending your packet
Free

Every FaxTerra account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one. A renewal or verification packet of up to 10 pages sends free, with no credit card.

A second packet the same month
$1.99 for 10 pages

Free pages reset on the 1st. If a second packet in the same month takes you past 10 pages, a FaxTerra Lite pack covers it, with no subscription.

Questions

What do I put on every page I fax to a Louisiana agency?

Your case or client number, your name, and your date of birth, unless the row below says the office asks for something else. A page that arrives without a case number has to be matched by hand, which is the slowest path through any agency.

Can I fax a Louisiana agency without a fax machine?

Yes. Upload the pages from your phone or computer, enter the office's fax number, and send. The agency receives it as a fax. Every account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one.

What if the fax line does not answer?

Call the number in that office's row before you try again. A line that rings and never connects will not start working on a retry, and the office can tell you whether the number changed or whether it wants the document another way.

Is this an official Louisiana site?

No. FaxTerra is a fax service. Louisiana and the office you are writing to set the rules and decide your case; every number and requirement here is linked to the agency's own page under official sources.
