Unemployment benefits

[losinghomesoon]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

I am unemployed and receiving unemployment benefits, It is only enough to pay for food and utilities each month. I do not pay rent or mortgage as my house is in foreclosure status. I will have to move soon and I do not know what to do as I have no money for relocation. Am I able to collect welfare benefits in addition to my unemployment benefits?

When you asked the welfare office this question, what did they say?

Yep, quick like ze bunny rabbit, get your butt to the California Dept of Social svsc office and apply for food stamps, Cal-care, any other possible benefits you may qualify for. Then from now on, you will know where you stand, as far as the bill paying, food buying, health care situations go. Unemployment insurance does provide some cash money to pay expenses, but it is finite, which means it will end. If your bills are payments on credit cards, things you have purchased, etc. you very probably won't qualify right now. But if you are below the poverty level, with their having figured all your expenses versus your intake and income, you will be entitled to something, at least food stamps if nothing else. It doesn't cost anything to apply, they will verify everything you tell them, every bill you show them, and if they determine you qualify for assistance, get it now.
