I've heard this mentioned, but I don't see how it's more profitable to not be married. I guess I don't know all the ins and outs of welfare and all the programs available.
TANF or cash assistance here only lasts a short time. And IIRC, you have to be willing to take classes for employment and look for employment; they don't just give you cash to sit around the house.
Also, if you have children with no father in the home, they will refer you to child support so the bio-father can begin paying support instead of them receiving cash assistance.
I don't consider food stamps very "profitable" since it's a basic necessity.
Does anyone know how it's more profitable to be a single mom than have a nuclear family?
