Low-Income Subsidies

When parents lose their jobs due to a tight labor market, disability or injury, they may qualify for benefits and subsidies until they find new jobs or recover their health. These benefits include Unemployment Insurance, Medicaid, Child and Family Health Plus, food stamps, SSI and Social Security, public assistance and legal services.

The informational pamphlets listed below provide information on how to apply for income and health care assistance, as well as benefits for disabled children.
