Both Partners in Torah and Jnet.org offer free study up to an hour a week. Is it unethical to study with both organizations? Is it similar to obtaining welfare under two names?

Also if you are interested in torah study you should try to contact a local synagog/kollel and see if they have a similar program. I think chabbad also has a program like Partners in Torah and Jnet.org.
Hatzlacha in your learning

I am unemployed and have neither a car nor license. The closest Chabad is 50 miles away.

No one person can provide you with everything you need, so I would say to go for it!
Also, start looking for a Rabbi.

I am at present signed up with a wonderful chavrusa from an organization like Partners in Torah, and before finding success there, I applied to a lot of places, including Partners in Torah. I think you should embrace every Torah-learning opportunity you think get your hands on – so long as you don’t get overwhelmed!

Thank you. Being unemployed 43 yo man, I understand that in many places I am not welcome but tolerated.
In any case I am not looking for any kind of mystical knowledge — just the very basics of observance.

As a frum person, it was hard to find an organization what would take me seriously, because many of them want to set up non-observant Jews with chavrusas so that they can grow in spirituality. I think it’s still worthwhile for already frum Jews to utilize a chavrusa-matching organization, because you can never stop learning.
