Hello,
If out of funds, ask the Ewing Township office to put your name on the waiting list, or ask them when will be the best time to call back.

Hello,
No, they dont' check bank accounts, this is for the working class, they just need to see the bill you're behind on, you 3 months pay stub (your unemployment stubs) two forms of ID. THA"TS IT!!! NOTHING ELSE!!!
About school, Mercer County has some schools already selected on the list, but if you have a school in mind that's not on the list, the county can make a contract with the school. I would highly advise you to ask for a counselor named Ingrid and her boss name is Frank. THEY ARE SERIOUS GO GETTERS!!!!!. Ingrid will be out until next month. They are wonderful to work with. Yes you can go to college, they will pay. You also should have gotten a letter about Pell Grant as well. But the ABT is better, you'll still get benefits.
Let me know what happens

Hello,
Who did you talk to, unless they changed it in the past couple of months, because I got help twice by them, and I live in East Windsor, that's Mercer. I would call them again and ask. But in the meantime, call the one in Trenton every week, they usually have a time when the money come in. Call again to Ewing though, I will call myself and speak to someone I know there and let you know next week.
