Way too high for cash benefits, but if she can prove a qualifying disability or if there's a state medically indigent waiver program, she may qualify for spend-down Medicaid (essentially a monthly deductible). Hospital social worker may be easier to deal with initially than the state welfare agency - although she'd have to deal with the welfare agency eventually, she should be able to get a pretty good idea of whether she might qualify for assistance before she goes there.
