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.

Anyone ever work in a government agency call-center?
Walking on Sunshine asked:
I’ve interviewed for a position in a government call-center - the job basically entails answering questions and assisting people who’ve applied for cash benefits (government assistance - food stamps, medicaid, etc.) and I’m wondering if anyone has ever worked for an agency like this. If so, what did you like/dislike about it?
I’m a recent college grad and I’m desperate to get my foot in the door with a state agency, so I’m thinking of taking this job out of desperation. I guess I’m looking for the positives, so any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

What is available as far as government assistance for someone struggling with money?
Mike R asked:
I want to start out saying that I don’t believe in taking advantage of any government programs and this would be temporary.
I recently finished my undergrad about 6 months ago and am really hurting financially. I took a position in financial planning, and it’s not working out(purely commission). For the last 8 years I have been working fulltime and been paying into the government. I am applying to companies daily with no luck. I just need a little bit of help to get me through these next couple months. Any suggestions?

What if you were forced to share your home with strangers? ?
Arwen asked:
It’s 2011 and Socialism has taken over. Your home, your property became government property. Imagine you are a family of four with a 2,000 square foot home you owned for 20 years. Government thinks that 2,000 sq feet is way too much space for your family so they assign a family of three to live under your roof with you. The family lost their home because daddy is in prison and they applied for Government assistance. What would you do? Want Socialism? Get ready!

Will child support & Government assistance effect my tax return?
hotpinkjeans asked:
My ex and I have a beautiful daughter together.
For the past 8 months, I have been laid-off from my job and in result, have been able to receive WIC/Food Benefits & Medicaid.
In lieu of child support payments, my daughter and I live in my Ex’s home and he pays the mortgage and utilities. He took a job out of state, and was unable to sell his home- I needed a home, and this works out great for the both of us.
HOWEVER, I just got a letter in the mail stating I MUST begin receiving support checks through Friend of the Court. (They were made aware of my arrangements when I applied for benefits). The letter from FOC also stated that the state would reimburse themselves for my benefits out of these payments.
My Ex is now very concerned that if he claims our daughter’s SS# is on his tax return (He has, afterall, paid for all our living arrangements the past 6 months) that his refund will be withheld and sent to FOC- Basically, making him pay child support twice.
FOC has my daughter’s info & SS#, but I never gave my Ex’s name or info because I don’t want them to force him to pay again. - so it’s likely they will cancel my benefits.
Does anyone know if my Ex can still claim my daughter or will this adversely affect his tax refund?
