You should have an 'assistance' office in your state. Here you go: http://www.arkansas.gov/family_gov.php
Good luck & take care of yourself!

My Neuro recently put me on Disability because I haven't been able to hold a job, and do not have medical insurance. I had a hearing with the welfare office this morning, and from what they told me, it's a hurry up and wait process and I shouldn't have any problems getting approved. I also intend to file bankruptcy because I do not have an income, and have no way of getting myself out of debt. They also told me state funded college could also be available to me so I may just take advantage of that as well. Talk to your Neuro and possibly a lawyer about it. The way things have been going for me for the past few years, I have to try something different, my last place of employment let me go because they said I was a hazard on the job, even though it was only a plastics assembly plant through a job agency, I was barely making minimum wage there too.
