"You are eligible to take part on a FÁS course if you are unemployed, redundant or out of full time education."

NO.  you must have your Family Care plan in place at all times.  if you do not, you will seperated and lose out on all of your benefits for failing to maintain readiness.  \n\nit's an insult to every other parent out there, single or otherwise who manage to do their duty without shirking their responsibilities to country and kin.

The Government has created a portal to help individuals who need benefits because of life events. Visit http://www.govbenefits.gov\n\nUse the drop down button\nDO YOU NEED BENEFITS BECAUSE OF A LIFE EVENT?\nChoose the life situation best applicable to you and then see if you qualify for the available government assistance.\n\nForget grant money - there's hardly any money for individuals. Go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and Grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. But you'd be hard pressed to find any grant that would support individuals.\n\nOr go to your county and check what services or assistance may be available for you.

hey this mightnt be too much help but i have been in the states the last 2 years on j1's and have looked into that myself. although i did not get very far. as far as i could find out its like £30.000 a year at least! and thats just fees... my cousin was lookin into it but it was too expnsive. also i have talked to ppl that have come to ireland on transfer programs similar to the erasmus.socrates thing we have in europre, and i am almost shure that there is a vice versa of what the yanks get from us. all else fails ask someone in ur college or email ur student union...

Dear Ruby,\n\nYour question has too little information.\n\nWhat country are you in?\n\nHave you looked at the appropriate government Web site for more information?\n\nHave you contacted your local welfare authorities?\n\nCheers\nAlister\nhttp://www.marketscience.com.au

it depends on what pension you are going to get from your employer,i would say think hard and long before you decide weigh up all your outgoings and think if you could afford to retire on your pension alone ,i fell into that trap and now find that i cannot get any help from the dhss because i am above the threshold, they seem keen to hand money over to scroungers who have never worked in their lives and refugees who come over here with there demands to be fed and housed by us and people who think it is neccessary to keep producing children that they cannot support but that is okay but on the other hand if you have worked for 35 years and have to retire on ill health do not expect much support from the dhss, please think carefully before you decide you are better off doing a job that you hate than having the constant worry of when you will reach your limit on your credit card just to live on ,good luck, god bless.

Go to your state website and look for the social service link. That should give you the info you need.

Four rules I would add to any welfare system are...\n\nIf you are a minor and get pregnant, you are not entitled to any welfare.  Your parents, the father and his parents are responsible.  No exceptions.  If the father refuses to pay, he should be neutered.  No exceptions.\n\nIf you are of age and get pregnant and want to go on welfare it will be mandatory that you are spaded.  If the father refuses or can't pay, he should be neutered.  You have acted like an animal and should be treated like one.  People who can't take responsibility for their own actions shouldn't be allowed to procreate.  No exceptions.\n\nImmigrants should not get any welfare, social services or tax exemptions at all.  If you want to be a part of a different country then you should contribute to it.  All these church groups that help immigrants come into a country should be forced to support them.  You brought them here, you take financial responsibility for them or they will be shipped back at your expense.  No exceptions.\n\nAny elderly or handicapped must show exactly where their assets went before receiving aid of any kind.  I have seen too often where senior citizens have sold their homes and assets, turned the money over to their kids and then went to live on welfare as a way to beat the system.  What is that but letting the tax payer support your parents when you should be doing it?

I totally agree with you! You need a valid SS# to get any kind of  welfare from the government!

If you are in the U.S.A. you can sign up for Welfare. Welfare was designed to help people who are in the situation that you are in right now. You will still be able to go to school, but you would be given financial help to pay your bills, food stamps for food and even help with medical and dental. Once you are back on your feet you can get off welfare. Good Luck!\n@--->---

The morning after the release of the interim report of Senator Jocelyn Newman's Reference Group on Welfare Reform (2000 [a]) Prime Minister Howard said "People want the needy looked after but they don't want an explosion in welfare spending." (P&NB 29/3/2000. 9 am News). Patrick McClure, CEO of Mission Australia and the head of the Reference Group, in an interview on Life Matters a few minutes later was asked about sanctions that might apply to income support applicants if they did not 'participate' in the Government's plans to extend mutual obligations provisions applying to unemployed people to single parents and disability pensioners claimed that there was only one reference to sanctions in the 75 page report. This comment was presumably made in an attempt to assure a frightened recipient population they were not about to lose their benefits. Those Life Matters listeners who had watched the 7.30 Report two days previously would have put McClure's comments alongside the fact that in the previous 12 months Centrelink had issued 200,000 notices of breach to social security recipients in the previous year. Anyone who bothered to read the Reference Group's interim report would have found scattered throughout pages 51-61 references to "compelled participation", "requirements to participate", "sanctions...to ensure compliance", "explicit direction", ruling out "open choice" in relation to how people participated and to "mutual obligation".\n\nMcClure claimed the idea of extending mutual obligation through participation arose from the Reform Group's review of New Zealand's income support system and of Tony Blair's labour market initiatives. This ignores the fact that in New Zealand the Clarke Labour Alliance Government, supported by the Greens, announced shortly after gaining office its intention to revisit in 2000 the entire National Party Government 'compelled activity' programs for income support recipients. On the 9th. March the relevant New Zealand Minister, Steve Maharey ended\n\nwork-testing for people on invalids benefits. He says the evaluation of the trial held last year showed the policy was 'completely useless'. He says that people with disabilities want to work and he prefers to put money into positive programmes that remove barriers to their employment.\n\nThe Blair Government acknowledged its indebtedness to the Keating Government's Working Nation document (1994), in relation to unemployed beneficiaries there has, since the 1947 Social Security legislation, been a work testing eligibility requirement, and work relief programs (the Susso) during the 1930's demanded actual work for sustenance prior to the supply of unemployment relief. The Howard Government's 'work for the dole' program is a latter day Susso scheme.

fill out the fasfa.  The school can tell you about the aid you can get and do a search for grants

yes just have your benefits direct deposited into an account.  You can live and travel to where ever you please
1122650
No, but your dependents receive them.  Just like if you were dead.  You are unable to provide for them, so the government gives them what your contribution would have been to the family.

You would need to contact your local department of health and welfare.  Some states will only consider your income, others consider income for the entire household.  Also, in some states, if you receive child support, they can require you to forfeit that to them for the food stamps (that's how it is in my state).  It all depends on how many people are in the household and the state's guidelines for poverty levels.
