what is the step by step process to apply for welfare in florida?

Question

A friend of mine is in a deep financial trouble and can't even afford to buy cheapest bread. I want to help her but don't know where to start for welfare program. Your answers are appreciated.

Answer 1

The place to turn is the local welfare or workforce office. She could qualify for food stamps, Medicaid, and child care assistance. The housing assistance program could be closed on the waiting list. The problem is that it is based on her and her family's income and savings, and if she makes too much, no matter how dire her circumstances she might not qualify for it. If her income does not qualify, I recommend talking to a nonprofit debt counseling agency who could work with the creditors and lower her interest rates and payments. Good luck!

Answer 2

I worked until I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I took sick leave unemployment for 3 months then they don't give it. Only 15 weeks. Now I have no choice but to apply for welfare because of my son and my body being so weak from all the treatments and surgeries. Please don't judge anyone or think they are lazy by applying for help. You never know when the tables turn and you are in the position I am in. I have a 3 yrs old son to feed, pay rent...its very hard..I see the messages where they say get a job..but how can you work when your body is weakened by illness..remember you are human, and human bodies do get sick..we are not robots. Thank you and happy holidays.
