Because it is embarrassing. People
Like to be self sufficient not asking for handouts. Well most people some take all they can get.
Because people need money to survive...people cannot survive on food stamps alone!
People who need assistance with being able to afford food. People with little or no income. Contrary to popular belief, all "types" of people are on food stamps. In fact, a majority of welfare recipients in America are white. And, most welfare recipients are only on welfare until they get their feet on the ground again. Food stamps are there to assist the poor, not stigmatize them.
Food stamps are technically considered public assistance. This is something that is offered to certain individuals to help assist them in living.
None
No, they cannot.
You can supplement the disability payments if you have children living with you, by applying for aid to dependent children, food stamps, and any other assistance benefits available. Contact your local welfare department and ask them for advice.
what kind of welfare. You can get food stamps IF you qualify but that's about it. If you are not on disability or have kids, you can't get govt housing or a check of any kind so food stamps is about it and then you have to qualify based on income and assets
hoover
No! Both social security, medicare, and food stamps; are all forms of social welfare.
As of the latest available data, approximately 44% of the population in Greenwood, MS, receive some form of welfare benefits. This includes programs such as SNAP (food stamps), Medicaid, and housing assistance.
no. It depends on your income, expenses and number of dependents. That's why people with 4 kids will get more food stamps than a person with 2.
Yes and no. Whenever there is a recession, spending on welfare and food stamps rises as the government tries to help its citizens. It is certainly accurate to say that more people have been receiving these benefits during the current recession, and President Obama has indeed been president during much of this time, although to be accurate, the financial crisis began under President Bush, before Mr. Obama took office. That said, it is true that economic recovery has been gradual, which means there has not been as much of a drop in people on welfare and food stamps as President Obama might have hoped. However, it is a political charge, made by the president's opponents, to blame the people on welfare on Mr. Obama alone. Whoever the president is, since this has happened before in US history, his opponents always will say he should have done more and they will blame him for the rise in spending on welfare and food stamps. But while this makes for good politics, it is generally an unfair charge. Presidents from both parties have been in office during difficult financial times, and historically, when the economy improves, spending on welfare and food stamps decreases, as more people return to the work force and are able to support themselves.
