<prompt> Human: About a month ago, i was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. This illness severely hampers my ability to work let alone walk. I was forced in January to quit my first job because the short term disability window has closed. My second job has processed my long term disability but will not give me benefits since I havent met the required time there. The second job is holding my position until I can return. By holding the position I wouldnt qualify for NYS unemployment benefits. What should I do from here?  <response>: You may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance based on your condition. This would qualify you for medical assistance as well as a cash benefit. Additionally, if you have no income, you likely qualify for food assistance through the SNAP food stamp program.
