Well you certainly don't have to be homeless to be on welfare!
The amount of welfare a person can receive in New Jersey will depend on several factors. The more children a person has, the more welfare. A single person will get considerable less.
yes That depends on what you consider to be poor. In the United States you can own your own home, have a car that is worth up to $4500.00 and have thousands of dollars in the bank (there is a limit there though). To many that is beyond their reach. To an Ethiopian, this person was rich beyond their dreams before they got welfare. The problem is that welfare in America has become an alternative to working rather then a temporary method of survival for some. We are a rich enough country that we should not allow people that can not work to starve, but we have created people that are now dependent on this system for living (fairly well).
Welfare programs were capped to limit the time a person could be on welfare.
Yes, a person on welfare can inherit from a will. Inheritances are generally not considered as income for welfare eligibility purposes, but it is always advisable to consult with a legal professional or the welfare agency for specific guidance based on individual circumstances.
No. There are no penalties for collecting Social Security benefits for an approved disability. If you are also receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which is a form of welfare, there are restrictions on the assets you can own and still receive benefits, but your home is exempt from that formula. The government will not confiscate your home.
Yes, a person can own a driveway and restrict access to their home. Property owners have the right to control access to their private property, including driveways.
Welfare is the health, happiness, and well-being of a person or animal. Human welfare is the health and well-being of humans.
If a person builds a home on land that they don't own, the home will become the property of the person who owns the land.
One of the biggest changes was to limit the amount of benefit any single person could receive from welfare. First, a person must be actively seeking work while receiving welfare. Second, a person can only receive welfare benefits for five years, regardless of income status.
