No rent or mortgage to pay? If you wanted to be a bum and mooch off the government, you could have done that a long time ago.

Anyone?

4 years of taxes before any benefits with exceptions starting right away.
Sorry don't have the list of exceptions.

2014 is when the meat kicks in..up to then it's taxes.
