Answer #1

If you have children you would be eligible for WIC, and prob food stamps, medical for the kids. Otherwise, probably not. I agree w/ morganhilljr–get out and apply yourself. You can play on FunAdvice AFTER you get home from work, not when you could be looking for work. Don’t mean to sound harsh, but…well, take that back–yes I do. :/

Answer #2

stay off welfare if you can.. crappy job or not live below your means and suck it up… Your pride and self esteem take a major hit when you rely on handouts for a living.. On the other hand, if you suck it up and make something of yourself BY yourself, FOR yourself.. It’s a feeling of accomplishment that can never be taken away…

Answer #3

You do not deserve welfare. Save your money and then get a place. Welfare is not for 21 year olds who just want out of mommie’s house.
