You can apply for Temporary Assistance to Needy Families and WIC, though you will be asked for a list of putative fathers. You will have to cooperate in identifying the father; I do not believe that if you say you are "cluless" they will believe you. They will want to know how you could be clueless as to the father. Whatever possible reason you would have for this situation might cause concerns about your ability ot parent and how responsible you are. In other words, they could put some pressure and scrutiny on you. Be prepared.

You are recieving SSI which is a form of welfare, ad you can apply to get beneficts for you child, you should be able to get food stamps, as well as medical for your child and cash assistance. If you werejust appying for state benenifts and you were not recieving SSI, you would still get assistance but for only fiveyears for cash assistance, being on SSI allows you to recieve longer, and they will ask you if you no who the father is on the applacation, all you can do is say no you don't you won't be denied because you do not no, they may want to know the names of the men you have been with, and evenually try to get them to get a paternity test.
