Willow, in the US, probably the most common benefit is unemployment insurance. To receive that, you have to have worked and paid into the system for a certain amount of time. The circumstances of why you left your job also determine if you qualify. Cash benefits are very limited and generally go to people with children for strict time limits. There is SNAP, which provides a soft of debit card for food purchases. You have to apply and meet certain requirements.
Jesyka - it seems like most counties have a social services office that can help you find out what you might qualify for and how to apply. I would say going there and also to whatever legal aid option might be available to you would be two important steps.

Thanks for the link. I doubt that I’ll get much if anything if I do end up qualifying for disability.
I think you have to have worked for a certain period of time to get it. I haven’t worked in a few years, so idk if I’ll even get anything at all.
I live in the U.S btw if anyone can tell me how disability works if they happen to have any experience with it. I heard that most people get denied at first.
I did find some promising jobs online that aren’t retail that don’t require a lot of computer skills like Excel. I don’t know anything about that at all.
