Financial Assistance · New Jersey · Free

Small emergency grants for low-income workers facing temporary crisis. Built for low-income seniors and adults with disabilities applying for SSI, SSDI, food assistance, energy aid, and prescription help. LIHEAP applications open in late fall in most states; apply early — funds run out before the cold sets in. SSDI back pay can be substantial — the application takes 3-5 months on average, but benefits date back to the disability onset. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
