Navagating the Site:

Quick start phrase: "It's Clickable."
We have attempted to make navagation easy and instinctive. The banner appearing at the top of each page is "clickable" with hot links to the respective Website or page.

• Clicking on any text in the main banner, from Admistration for Children and Families to Office of Administration will link you to their respective sites. The home page of this website is Office of Financial Services. Clicking on that text will always return you to the home page of OFS.
  
  
• Topical breakouts fall out below. When you are within a topic area, the text will appear in faded script to alert you to your position within the website.
  
  
• Clicking on any main topic will always bring you to the main page for that topic.
  

This will allow instant access to any main topic area from any page on our site.
