i've been reading all the comments on this thread and alot of people have good points.i remember when my husband fractured his spine at work i went down to sign up for food stamps for a family of 6 4children 2 adults and the worker told me i was elligable but for only 12 amonth (because we had $800 in savings) you have to understand that would of lasted us 2 months or less because our rent and bills i told her this then she said i could get more if me and my husband were not together ( his workman comp took 8 weeks to come in) i left really pissed off and on my way out the door i watched a women get out of a brand new car wearing really nice name brand clothes and walk up to the window saying she was here to see her welfare worker,,i just couldnt understand he worked alot and i use to also pay taxes and when the time came for help we would of gotten $12 thats crazy....another thing i know a store down the street from me who buys food stamps from the druggies and alcholics what they do is say like they have 150 amonth they go to this store and the store pretends they bought 150 and give them 75 in cash,,,,my sister made a complaint to food stamp fraud line now that was in jan 2008 and to this day this store still does it. oh by the way i live in mass they call it the wealthy state..wealthy for who?
