The only cash transfers in New Hampshire go from me to the state and town.

In many ways a welfare system that just provided cash and nothing else might work out better than subsidizing Big Ag with food stamps and landlords with Sec 8 housing payments. Just give the poor money and let them spend it where they will. If they run out before the next check that is their problem.

you just found it...been around for years.

what benefits would this young man be entitled to?

WIC? Head Start? School Lunch? TANIF, Medicaid? Unempolyment Insurance?

Maybe Food Stamps. Maybe he sold his snap and got a cool $60 bucks.

Yeah, sorry I JUST FOUND a website that lists cash handouts from state governments for people who'd like to scoop up the benefits.

I guess having a full time job got in the way of me finding out about this sooner.

If you stop doing mindless, tedious, or menial work you will start being paid more than minimum wage.
