A:
Your daughter is a U.S. citizen and may be able to apply for benefits (you can apply for her) at The Administration for Children and Families agency in the state you live in.
The Administration for Children and Families funds states, to provide family assistance (welfare), child support, child care, Head Start, child welfare, and other programs relating to children and families.
Please go to their website for more information https://www.acf.hhs.gov
Hope all is well with you and your daughter.
