Are you a candidate for in-person qualification?

Some criteria in sections 1 through 5 of the Medical Eligibility Criteria and Conditions can be visually confirmed. If your disability falls into this category, we can authorize you at an in-person King County Metro Neighborhood Pop-Up, without the need for a health care provider's certification.

Please visit http://www.kingcounty.gov/metro/popup for more information or contact us at neighborhoodpopup@kingcounty.gov. Starting January 2021, King County will also offer virtual Neighborhood Pop-Ups online.
