If you are divorced, you can receive monetary benefits based on your spouse’s record, if you meet the following criteria: You will still be eligible for benefits if your ex-spouse remarries, but you will no longer be eligible if you get remarried. If your ex-spouse has not applied for retirement benefits but is eligible for them, you can still receive benefits if you have been divorced for at least two continuous years. If you are eligible for retirement benefits on your own, SSA will pay that amount first, but if the benefit of your ex-spouse is higher, you will receive the difference. You can learn more about applying and eligibility on SSA’s Benefits for Your Divorced Spouse page. Tax Relief for Divorced or Separated Individuals Filing taxes can be complicated under normal conditions but can be even more confusing after a big life change like divorce. The U.S. Department of Treasury explains Tax Relief for Divorced or Separated Individuals under Publication 504. Publication 504 is a resource that may help divorced or separated individuals choose their filing status and decide which benefits they can claim. You don’t need to apply to use this program, but you’ll need to file your taxes according to the guidelines in Publication 504 to receive any benefits. This resource offers explanations on how to determine your filing status, how to handle dependents, alimony, cost of divorce, and many other facts that could affect your taxes after divorce. The instructions will vary based on your personal situation, but this is a great place to start. The Benefit Finder To find other benefits for your needs, take the Benefit Finder questionnaire. It can take between 10-30 minutes to finish, and all answers are kept confidential. Once you complete the questionnaire, you will receive a list of government benefits you may be eligible for and where you can apply. Check out this video to learn more about the Benefit Finder Questionnaire.

Head Start programs provide a learning environment that supports children’s growth in many areas such as language, literacy, and social and emotional development. Head Start emphasizes the role of parents as their child’s first and most important teacher. These programs help build relationships with families that support family well-being and many other important areas. Many Head Start programs also provide Early Head Start, which serves infants, toddlers, and pregnant women and their families who have incomes below the Federal poverty level. https://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/programs/article/early-head-start-programs 2.

Vaccinating Your Child The Vaccines for Children (VFC) program helps provide vaccines to children whose parents or guardians may not be able to afford them.

A child is eligible for the VFC program if he or she is younger than 19 years of age and is one of the following: Medicaid-eligible Uninsured Underinsured [1] American Indian or Alaska Native Children whose health insurance covers the cost of vaccinations are not eligible for VFC vaccines, even when a claim for the cost of the vaccine and its administration would be denied for payment by the insurance carrier because the plan’s deductible had not been met. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/vfc/index.html If something is not covered under VFC check your state’s immunization program. 5.Nutrition Help for Your Family The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) provides supplemental foods, nutrition education, breastfeeding promotion and support, referrals, and access to health and social services, to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk.
