Examples of situations for people who qualify for food,cash, health insurance.

A single mother with two children who has no medical coverage for her children through her job. Depending on her income and resources she might qualify for family or children's health insurance program. She might also be eligible for Basic Food and Working Connections Childcare.
An individual with no children who is temporarily disabled and unable to work might be eligible for General Assistance and Basic Food.
A pregnant woman living alone might be eligible for pregnancy medical, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families and Basic Food.
These are example situations.

Remember, the only way to know for sure if you're eligible is to apply.
Look on your state's dshs website and apply.

I don't think you can apply for unemployment unless you are unemployed... I would try and contact your local dash office and save your questions for them. They will be able to assist b you better than anyone here. Every state has different rules when it comes to applying for benefits.

I believe that they do that because they can't legally fire you. I think that they would cut hours that much in hopes that the employee would end up quitting, or creating labor for workers they believe are more capable... which is still wrong in my opinion.

That's discrimination and you could file a complaint because your job is not allowed to do that
