Welfare Benefit

California is the largest, and most populated state in the Nation it is also the most generous in providing Welfare Benefit . Like all other States, California has participated in several Welfare Benefit programs authorized by the Social Security Act and partially funded by the Federal Government.

There are many different Welfare Benefit available, depending on your needs and your circumstances. But you may not know what you are entitled to, or how to apply for a Welfare Benefit, or what to do if you think you have been unfairly turned down for a Welfare Benefit.

If you have a low income, you can claim for several Welfare Benefit that can give you basic financial sustenance to live on. If you live with a partner, civil partner or with your husband or wife, their income and savings are taken into account as well when deciding if you can get these benefits.

This is available to people with a low income that don’t have to look for work before they can receive benefit. These people are the: caregivers, lone parents with children under 16, and people who are sick or disabled.

To claim, you must be under 60 years old and working for less than 16 hours a week. If you have a partner who lives with you, you can get income support only if he or she works less than 24 hours a week.

If you claim for Welfare Benefit and you are the parent of a child who lives with you, but the other parent lives elsewhere, you will be treated as having applied to the Child Support Agency. You will have to give information about the child’s other parent, unless this would put you or your children at risk. If you do not give this information, your Income Support may be reduced.
