I think your a bit late in filing.\n\nAt any rate The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) sometimes called the Earned Income Credit (EIC), is a refundable federal income tax credit for low-income working individuals and families. Congress originally approved the tax credit legislation in 1975 in part to offset the burden of social security taxes and to provide an incentive to work. When the EITC exceeds the amount of taxes owed, it results in a tax refund to those who claim and qualify for the credit.\n\nTo qualify, taxpayers must meet certain requirements and file a tax return, even if they did not earn enough money to be obligated to file a tax return.\n\nThe EITC has no effect on certain welfare benefits. In most cases, EITC payments will not be used to determine eligibility for Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), food stamps, low-income housing or most Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) payments.\n\nMore info here: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96406,00.html

go to social services and apply for food stamps. You might also try going to the local section 8 office and applying for housing...they won't assist you until you are on their program.. Sometimes churches will help if you have a shut off notice or eviction notice. If you have little income, you might quailfy for medical benefits. Ignore these people who tell you to give off your butt and go to work.. It's those people who know very little about what it's like to need help. They have been telling me that for years and I am on disability..disability/work doesn't go together. People are just judmental.one day they will they may need the help to and they will have people telling them the say thing.

it depends on what part of florida you are in i think but i was in the pan handle.  You can go to a Job Plus office and they will help you apply for it or just go to the child and family services building.  You can apply for food stamps medicaid and TANF or cash assistance.  But be worned you must have no income for TANF.  If you are only getting child support and you apply for TANF they will take your child support to pay for the cash assistance.  Even if your child support is more than what TANF will give you.  Like in my case i was getting $288 a month for child support and TANF would only give $148 a month.  In order to get that they wanted to take my $288 and only give me $148 so in that case it didn't make sence to get TANF. Also if you do end up getting TANF they require you to do comunity service to recieve it.  In my case i would have been required to do 40 hours a week of comunity service to get $148 a MONTH.  So be sure you ask your social worker lots of information.  Things they will need for you to apply is social security cards for you and child/children birth certificates for all proof of income either last 4 pay stubs or a form filled out from someone not in your house hold that can verify there is no income.  You will probably also need to show proof of residencey which would be an electric bill or lease/deed in your name.  If you are living with family members they may need to sign a form stating that they are not supplying you with food or cash that way the food stamps is based on your family size and not effected by other family members income. Also if you have any children under the age of 5 be sure to apply for WIC.  You can apply for that at your local health department and it will supply you with things like milk cheese peanut butter cerials and fruit juice.  It helps alot because it pretty much supplies you for the month with those things.  and its very easy to get.  Hope i was able to help!

try HEAP for aid for heating bills,go to social services department at your downtown county building or look in the blue pages of your phone book. \n  My sister formerly used such services,as she was and still is a single mother with 3 children and has used assistance for milk,cheese,etc..cannot remember the service she used.\n  Your income is your qualifier,I don't think that child support is included as income,at least it is not used as income for tax purposes.\n  Children will eat you out of house and home,if you don't apply for something,and i am sure you cannot depend on your own business with the economical fluctuations which can be cyclical. \n  Good luck..no one should have to choose between money for food and/or rent or clothes on your back.\n  Also make sure you apply for the school lunch program for your children to receive free or reduced lunches depending..again on your income.\n  I used to live in New York and grew up there,my own mother was a single mom,and I remember receiving reduced lunches at school..although I remember selling my lunch tokens for cash..lol.\n  please ignore all the snobbish comments from Rich bratty Republicans who don't know what it is like to have to struggle to make ends meet.

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!

Well, there is HUD and section 8. You may start by finding these sources in your locality and filling out an application. You will usually be put on a waiting list.  If you contact your local welfare agency, they may have contact information on these places. Usually the welfare agency is Department of Social Services or Social Insurance, but it may be called something else where you live. There is less help available usually to those who do not have children. Hope this helps.
