Not A Mooch

I don't work and am on Disability. This is not by choice. Especially recovering from two mental breaks. Newsflash: Both involve constant treatment and self care.
I didn't think of where to volunteer, and I knew my health wasn't well enough.  However, I now feel I am getting there.
I am applying to volunteer at a nursing home and at a hospital. I am becoming more active in library and community events. I try to attend physical activities at the YMCA. I am looking to POSSIBLY going back to  (very part time) work, and MAYBE class, one a semester.
On the current side, I clean, make (a lot of) phone calls, read, and am looking to learn how to knit.
I am attending a program that will finish soon. I socialize,  shop,  and more.
If I "mooch" from the government, I would like to know how.
