[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If OP can afford her current home at her typical income level there is no way she should sell it. What a drastic solution to a short term problem!

OP, ignore all the hater who also are just making things up. Most of these programs do NOT look at assets and you are very likely to qualify. There is no shame in it - this is exactly the type of situation they are meant for. I’d much rather children receive temporary food and energy assistance than have to sell their home and move.

I would contact all the linked Fairfax Co agencies today. Good luck. [/quote]

Yes the look at savings but not house value.  Op has plenty of money and could pick up a job.  [/quote]

Don't hate the player hate the game. OP should take advantage of ANY program she qualifies for. She should not forgo a benefit because you the morality police have decided she "shouldn't" qualify for a benefit even if she does qualify. [/quote]

People who paid in should be able to get the benefits they paid for.

When people spend most of their time working but get no help when they are in trouble, it lessens their motivation to pay taxes for others in the future.

I had assets when I collected unemployment but I took it.  I was glad I was married and had savings.  It took me months to find a decent job and unemployment would have barely covered my mortgage payment for a 3 BR TH.  Let alone everything else required to run a household.   OP has only a modest amount of liquid assets right now.  And it can take a long time to find a job.[/quote]
