1. I'm under 22 and live with my parents. Can I get Disability Assistance (DA)?

People under 22 who live with their parents may be eligible to receive DA. It depends on their parents' income, resources, and living situation. If you are at least 18, but under 22, and living with your parents, your caseworker will need to do a special budget based on your parents' income.

2. I'd rather get a job than be on DA. Can you help me get a job?

The DA program itself can't help you get a job. However, most people who get DA also get help from the Food Stamp program.

Many people who get food stamps must take part in Food Stamp Employment and Training (FSET). FSET is a program that gives job training and experience. Some people won't have to take part in FSET, because of age or health, for example. To learn more, ask your caseworker.
