state help?

Question

I need help desperately. My brother in law just got diagnosed with a brain tumor. He will need radiation and chemo etc.
he is the head of household, my sister will have to work, but i am hoping we can get her out of work one way or another so she can stay home and take care of her husband during treatment. In California, how to you apply to long term disability through the state? Doesn't the state give the patient money plus the caregiver? any helpful advice on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.. also how about health insurance for the children ? my BIL is the one with all the benefits, but since he will be able to work (they told him maybe in 3 or 4 months he may go back) but how can we get them all medical ?

thank you!

Apply for medical through social services. it does not mean everyone will get help just the ill individual.
