Dear SGautam1,

Please do not pay attention to the negative people in Sajha. The social service benefits are created as a safety net so that you can get help when needed.

As for your sister with kids, she can get SNAP, CHIP and medicaid if she is found eligible ( it depends on income). She can also get WIC to help with the formula and healthy food if she qualifies. If she is working or willing to go to school , she can get help with the child care. It is called CCIS in PA. She can get housing assistance if needed. She can get help to pay for utility bills through LIHEAP.

She needs to go to a county assistance office with all her documents and find out about the services.
