Need Help- Single Mother get laid off (Ontario)

Can any expert tell me what are the social benefits for a single mother? She just got laid off from her employer. I want to know what are the social benefits she is entitle to get other than EI. She lives in Ontario. Thank you very much.

There aren't many social benefits of someone taking government money for not doing any work. There might be some personal benefits to the single mother, though.

There is the ontario works program (a.k.a. social assistance or welfare).
