SubscribeI am a single mom, with no job. I cannot collect unemployment because of the reason I left my previous job. What can I do until I am able to get another job? I cannot afford groceries, baby supplies, utilities, and rent on a no income budget. I live in Indiana if that helps. Is there anything I can do?
You may be able to qualify for SSI, food stamps, etc., Check with your local social services office. They should be listed in your telephone book under government services. You could also check with the state unemployment office if you can’t find something in the telephone book. I believe some states have training programs for which they will pay if you are out of work. That may not be something you will need but the food stamps and SSI are fairly easy to qualify I would think, especially when children are involved.
I think you should talk to someone in Social Security.
The US Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) has a downloadable listing of all Federal assistance programs. Perhaps you can find something that will helphttp://www.cfda.gov
