I've never been on government assistance so this is all new. I lost my job ($4,250/month) due to business dropping because of coronavirus. It will be available again when it picks back up. My husband is an essential employee so he is still working thankfully. I filed for unemployment yesterday. We would qualify for food stamps based on only his income but do they factor in unemployment benefits into that amount too? What's the difference between food stamps and WIC? It looks like our 1 and 2 year old would qualify but I'm not understanding what we would get differently than food stamps? Then there is TANF cash benefits...am I supposed to apply for that? We have insurance through my husband thankfully so I don't need Medicaid. There's too many programs. Can someone break it down???

I'm not sure what group to post. Sorry if it's the wrong one!
