                              • SSI
                                Supplemental Security Income (SSI) gives cash benefits to people with disabilities and seniors who have low income and low resources.
                              • SSDI
                                Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) gives cash benefits to people who worked and paid Social Security taxes before their disabilities limited their ability to work.
                              • California State Disability Insurance (SDI)
                                Most California employees pay into a state insurance fund. If you've paid into the fund and can’t work because of a disability not related to your job, SDI pays you a benefit.
                              • Short-Term Disability Insurance
                                Short-term disability coverage provides a cash benefit to individuals who lose wages due to a disability. It usually lasts for up to one year.
                              • Long-Term Disability Insurance
                                Long-Term Disability Insurance will replace some of the income you lose when you can’t work because of a disability. Some people get this insurance through their employer.
                              • Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI)
                                CAPI provides cash assistance to aged, blind or disabled immigrants who do not qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) because of immigration status.
                              • CalWORKs
                                CalWORKs provides money to families to help pay for basic needs like food, clothing, and rent.
                              • Pell Grants
                                Pell Grants are financial aid that can help pay for tuition, fees or other educational expenses. They do not have to be repaid.
