Have you checked with your local Department of Labor? They should have a division for vocational rehabilitation (some states may call it something different) that seeks to help people, especially those receiving disability benefits, to retrain and reenter the workforce. Sometimes, they can also help pay for necessary equipment, especially since you likely need a WFH computer setup. They can help you with any additional equipment you might not already have. They also probably have job postings or placements that could help you out. I was not receiving disability benefits, but the local Vocational Rehab paid for my hearing aids, which I could not afford, after a stroke damaged my hearing.
