Will i still qualify for government assistance if im going to school full time?

Baby Chris is here! asked:

Ok so i am 31 weeks pregnant. Right now in january and then once in april i am due to get a disbursement of student loans and grants etc. It totals to about $3000 bucks or so. However with that i use it to pay 3 months rent, and books, and all my other bills that i have like probation costs, restitution, and phone bills. So its pretty much gone within 6 weeks. I am also getting unemployment on a extension but i only have 8 weeks of that left and thats only 108.00 a week. Im taking 14 credits right now and next term i am taking 6 (im due in january and most of the classes are online) and i just got a letter from dhs saying that they need to redetermine my elligability for food stamps. I dont think they know im going to school full time so could they take away my food stamps if they find out. I only get that disbursement during the school year so in june im going to be SOL. Also i was thinking about applying for TANF cash assistance will i qualify for that? Since i dont really have a steady income? And most of the money i get from the school i need to pay back? also Im on OHP (medicaid). Also could i possibly get daycare assistance after i have my baby since i am keeping it? I am 20 by the way? and the dad is not around. Also im renting a room from a house so i do have 4 roommates but we are in no way related and in NO way help each other out financially! Thanks! I live in oregon by the way.

    This isn’t exactly an answer to your question but how are you collecting unemployment? In order to legally be collecting unemployment benefits you have to not only be able to work but be actively seeking work.

    You hint that you have some legal issues “all my other bills that I have like probation costs, restitution….” Depending on what those legal issues are you are not eligible for government assistance.

    Discuss this with the school. Perhaps they can get you a work study position or some student loans.
    I went through school with student loans as well as a work study job, and it was difficult but doable. I had no external support whatsoever. Your children should be eligible for CHIP and also WIC. The student loans cover living expenses as well as tuition. Usually the interest rate is low, and once you start your real job you can pay it back.

    What, you aren’t getting enough of a free ride, you want MORE? Some people.

    Grants pay your rent, books, fines, restitution, phone, etc; unemployment, food stamps, medical, and who knows what else, and you want to make sure you keep free food, get TANF, WIC, AND get free child care… sigh. So everyone paying taxes is supporting you.

    Well, at least you’re going to school, I give you credit for that much.
