Well, my aunt had breast cancer surgery and is now on chemotherapy. She has a 5 year old daughter and is unable to work. Is it possible for her to receive financial benefits?

go into your local DHS office/go online and get/download an application, as your aunt and her daughter would qualify and they (in IL) will back date 3 months. Hope this helps and she would probably qualify for social security disability or SSI.

She would qualify for medicaid of course, contact children and family services CFS in your area. She can also ask her Dr office if they can help her.
Tell her to call the local HOSPICE center, she will not quialify for that, but they are rich in knowledge of where to go for what services.
God bless you guys.
