They help navigate the system to connect you to services regarding; housing, healthcare, legal, substance abuse, income, food & child care. There are so many programs that ppl don't utilize b/c they don't know they exist. by New_Stats
This may depend on where you live. We had stuff mailed to us about benefits my parents are eligible for for medicaid and such. If you're ever hospitalized in NJ and worried about incurring an insane medical debt, there are team of social workers who will help you navigate it all. Believe it or not, our state isn't all that bad when it comes to these things. A lot of other states are way worse like making the portal and process of application overly complicating and convoluted.

we are several steps ahead of a lot of other states (especially since many of them purposefully make it as difficult as possible to get the benefits you're entitled to) but things are still more difficult than they should be. unemployment is the biggest offender in this (their website is like 20 years out of date at this point) but other facets of state government lag hard.
