hmmmm!\nNo but not working will not help your status either, understand, your ssi will effect the amount of food stamps you can qualify for and reveive in most States.

There are food banks? Food Stamps? Housing assistance, Heating / Electric assistance programs. Most of which you would have to qualify for? Most programs have had high demand & cutbacks. I would suggest you look for a second job & bail yourself out.

Every welfare and food stamp office has a fraud unit.  Just call your local office and they will direct you to their fraud unit.  Also, it takes time for them to verify the suspected fraud, be patient.  Also, they will contact you for further details if needed.  I had to report someone too.  It took almost a year but they got caught!

I think it would depend on the ethnic makeup of the particular county you got your info from. If the county is mostly african american...then yes...there will probably be a higher percentage on welfare.

There are social services available. Look in the phone book.  Make a few calls. You should be able to get food stamps and other services and moneys to pay at least some bills, like utilities.\nLook for a community help line. They are set up to help people find the services they need.  All too often people wait to call until the situation is in crisis and that could be avoided or lessened if they had just taken the initiative to call sooner.  I do not mean to sound cold, I do care, I just want you to get the phone book out now and have the other adult make some of the calls for you.\nThere may even be some special needs charities.\nIt varies by location. Here we have a group that is just for coordinating all the charity services available and helping people file for help.\nGood luck as you pursue things.

anyone can get food stamps..just go to your local well fare office and talk to a case worker...bring your last paycheck stub and bring your kids social security numbers and also bring your proof of rent and your last electric bill also..this way they can tell how much food stamps u will need to feed your family....Getting food stamps is easy..so long as u are honest and bring all the stuff that i mention will show them that your income doesn't cover all areas..u will get food stamps...Cause in America no child shall go hungry..i have seen folks getting anywhere from $125 a month to $400 something...depending on how many kids u have...or don't have...even if u have 0 kids u still can get food stamps

At least at the begining, part of your being allowed your green card is that you will not use these social welfare programs and thusly become a burden on the state otherwise your sponsor will be required to pay that back. I do not know if that ends when you are a premenant resident or if it doesn't until you are actaully a citizen.

It ought to be mandatory to get food assistance in 3rd world countries where they are producing babies as fast as they starve to death, but it's not a bad idea here, especially if they are 3rd generation welfare recipients. I'm one of the working pooor who gets annoyed at people on food stamps driving better vehicles than I have, have their rent paid for, who whine about not getting more money and spitting out babies to get more benefits. Gee, I guess I'm developing an attitude :P

I get foodstamps b/c I have a lot of people to support and some of which are not able to work, some are too young. I hate people that cheat the system. It makes the gov't make all these new rules that make it harder on us who need them. I work hard,but I still need some help.

My family and I get food asistance and my kids get medicaid.  OUr family would starve to death with out it.  I am unemployed and my wife is on maturnity leave right now if it were not for the food stamps we would have no food.  I do think that the welfare system needs some major over hauling.  i think there are far too many people out there that rely on it as income and do not want to get on their owm.  that is wrong.  Welfare should be a temporary fix the help get you through when i find a job again i plan on discontinuing the benifits we are receiving.\n\nC.H.
