Emergency Aid to the Elderly, Disabled, and Children (EAEDC)

Reviewed same as above

EAEDC is a cash benefit for disabled adults, caretakers, and some children who are not able to get TAFDC (welfare).

EAEDC is a state benefit. It is different from SSI, which is a federal benefit. You can not get both at the same time.

For information about SSI, look at Supplemental Security Income

You may be able to get free legal help from your local legal aid program. Or email a question about your own legal problem to a lawyer.
