most private industry jobs for the middle class and below are essentially Jobs Programs funded by the government, only in a roundabout way. Most people don't realize it, they want to believe their middle management job is on the up and up, etc. But when you do some real digging, see the tax subsidies for various corporations or government institutions, etc., you'll see the majority of those who work a 9-5 are on the dole, just in a different way.
Play the game or get played. You have two options in this country. If you work hard for less than 100K a year, you're being played.
90% of the working class could fall into a black hole and true productivity that matters towards the advancement of our species wouldn't even stutter-step.
Raise it, folks. . You've never gotten any use of a dime from the USA government. You've never had any sort of welfare.
I can't. Had free lunch as a kid and also ate government cheese sandwiches when I was a kid.
Not to mention food or fuel subsidies.
I'm going to stick with direct:
Free lunch and Pell grant.
Anyone that gets inside state tuition at a college or university is subsidized. If you have a child and they go to public school it is subsidized but if you start down that path it just keeps going and going so I'll leave out the groups stuff.
I have used other government benefits that I considered earned and not welfare.

Wouldn't it be a better score to keep if you simply asked have you paid in more than you've gotten out of it?
After all welfare is suppose to be to the benefit of the nation. Correct?
I don't know many people that would argue against some sort of helping hand. It's when that helping hand becomes two arms, two legs, a torso and an cranium for people that people disagree with.
Simply asking if you've received welfare is sort of simplistic and IMO is only asked by people trying to convince everyone that welfare is always good and can never be bad.
They are not welfare, they simply mean YOU PAY a little less.
I also never spent a day in my life in a public school in US, so the school lunch does not apply to me either.
