Hello
mom,
Whether you’re a single mother by choice or circumstance, this site might have some, if not all, of the answers to what government benefits you might be entitled to — and how to apply.
Here we track key grants and benefits available for single moms and their families — the likes of TANF, food stamps, LIHEAP, Medicaid, unemployment insurance, among others and we crunch the numbers to analyze how much benefits a single-parent family of three can expect to get in each state.
