State Assistance while Waiting for Social Security Disability and SSI?
|
Summary
Is there any state aid available while waiting for Social Security Disability and SSI? |
“I am waiting for SSD and SSI. Do you know if there is state disability in Scranton, Pennsylvania that I can apply for while I am waiting for my claim to be approved?”
Your best bet will be to contact the local office which administers the Pennsylvania General Assistance program. You may qualify under that program until you start receiving your SSD and SSI funds. These links should get you on the way.
