[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What? How is this welfare abuse OP? It sounds like your cousin is not a dependent, they have minor children, and they have very limited income. What is it that you want? For them to be homeless, too?

You suck, OP. [/quote]

Of course it’s abuse. It would be like putting $0 as family income on the FAFSA to get pell grants.[/quote]

No it's not. There are different policies for SNAP, which are different for Medicaid, which are different for WIC.

OP, I used to work for social services determining eligibility for these benefits. Your cousin and her children are a separate household from her parents. They do NOT need to report her parents income for eligibility. And working one day per week isn't likely to affect her eligibility for benefits.

Also, when applying for SNAP, you're asked about "management." If you say you don't work, how do you pay your bills? This is where people explain things like, they work under the table (and that income factors in to your eligibility), or they live with their parents so they don't pay rent.

Note: different states have different rules, so you'd need to look up policies for your state. [/quote]
