Food stamps is a different program. Cash assisance is what people would call the "welfare check". There is a federal 5 year limit on that. You have to be looking for a job 40 hours a week or enrolled in school.
If you have a baby, there is a one year lifetime waiver from looking for work. But it counts for your 5 years. If you take the waiver, you have 4 more years.
If you arene't looking for work and you don't get a job, the cash assistance ends.
You can get food stamps and other programs, but no cash. It's over for you in the US of A. President Clinton signed this into law whe he was Pres.
I'm not sure of all of the rules of sanctions, but they start deducting a little each month until you are to zero cash assistance.
There is no "welfare check" when your time is up. Food stamps, fuel assisstance, medical assisstance,yes. But no check.
What was AD living on? She had a parttime job for only a few months. I suppose she could live with friends and relatives for awhile. I suppose she got food stamps to help with food.
Aunt Carey would be eligible for nothing from BL. BL's income would disqualify him from receiving any govt. assistance. You don't get to have his house and a beemer and get assistance. Anything Aunt Cary got would be from BL himself or if she qualified her ownself under her income.
I don't care what state you are in. They ask you to name the father if you get assistance. Public assistance. The taxpayer is paying. States DO NOT allow that. They want the parents to pay, if they can. No free ride.
