Yes, apply for social security disability and go to the welfare office and try to get medicaid for the kids and food stamps for all. SSD takes a while...maybe two years or more so that is the problem with that, but when you get it after two years you can get medicare if you have enough work quarters in. Life is tough, but try and utilize every thing in your community that is available inc. mental health facilities etc..Sometimes just going to one can lead you to many others inc. a food bank or two.

Are you eligible for unemployment benefits due to loss of job? If you don't like their decision you can appeal. I think everyone should appeal any decision that is not in their favor. Why not. You have to take care of yourself.

I don't know if you are a single parent but you should be getting child support as well and maybe alimony depending on your own circumstances. You can always go badk to court..

I am giving you general ideas since I really don't know much about you. I am glad you posted here. Hope you can get the help you deserve..
