Dr. Chhoda helps you identify resources for federal and state assistance other than traditional state unemployment insurance through the benefits.gov website. Take the time to go through these resources since they can help you or someone you know.

Also check out the new article on the benefits.gov website to help guide you to the many assistance programs that may be available to you and your family through the federal and state level.

Benefits.gov is the official benefits site of the U.S. government, managed by U.S. Department of Labor. It contains information about thousands of benefit and assistance programs.

Prior to Benefits.gov, citizens looking for government benefit information had to search through a complicated maze of web pages.

There was no easy-to-use, single source of benefit information to help citizens understand which benefit programs they may be eligible for, or how to apply.

Operated, managed, and supported by a Federal agency Partnership, Benefits.gov provides an innovative, technology-based solution to benefit information delivery. Today, millions of citizens have easy, online access to information from across multiple Federal agencies on Benefits.gov.

Dr. Chhoda encourages you to use the site and walks you through what you need to know.
