COVID-19 Notice:
Beginning Monday, November 16, the Community Services Building at 1117 Center St, New Ulm which houses Public Health and Human Services will be closed to the public. This is due to the surge in COVID positive cases and a desire to limit any unnecessary contacts. The offices and services remain OPEN but an appointment would be needed for any required face to face visits. Please call Human Services at 507-359-6500 to make an appointment between the business hours of 8:00 to 4:30.
- Applications and forms can be put in the drop box in our parking lot. If possible, please place in an envelope with your name and who it should go to. The box will be checked multiple times throughout the day and will not impact your eligibility date for benefits because you are not bringing into the building. If you need original documents returned, please note on the document and we will mail the original back to you.
