Thankful for States like mine that require a woman to seek employment or go to school while on welfare. They monitor it and you have to show proof of your job hunt.. interviews or applications for employment. Failure to comply results in taken off the program. You also have a lifetime benefit of 2 years to draw welfare in our state.
I spent about 3 months on our state welfare system.. for three kids, the cash benefit was $346 a month and food stamps and of course Medicaid. That is not enough to live on, and I can't understand for the life of me how people would want to live that way.
The state was paid back with the first tax refund my ex husband tried to claim on a federal return. Which is the way it should be.
