Ketchikan, Alaska

I don't know anything about this city, but I believe the state does run hundreds of millions of dollars into a budget surplus pretty much every year because of all the resource money, so the benefits and social programs up there are bound to be pretty generous. At 26k, you very well might qualify.

 

If you have a family, there's little doubt you'd qualify. I qualified for SNAP and Medicaid at $32,500 in the lower 48. Income limits for state benefits are higher in Alaska and Hawaii.
