That's hard to believe. Some states do have more generous income amounts, but the state limits aren't going to significantly deviate from the federal guidelines.

Households have to meet income tests unless all members are receiving TANF, SSI, or in some places general assistance. Most households must meet both the gross and net income tests, but a household with an elderly person or a person who is receiving certain types of disability payments only has to meet the net income test. Households, except those noted, that have income over the amounts listed below cannot get SNAP benefits.

No i work at a well known, worldwide company.


Collecting welfare has nothing to do with who I attract. I do not share the information.

I live in a more expensive state to reside in so maybe it has more generous income levels. I really do not know. But i do have to provide all my information to qualify.

It also only factors income not assets into the equation.
If that were true I could get foodstamps.

I find it hard to believe that you would make good money and receive welfare. There is more to this.

I don't understand. If you are in such good shape financially, why are you still using food stamps? Aren't there income limits on folks that can get such assistance?

Oh, she is income poor, but asset rich, don't you know. She buys and flips houses which isn't income, or so she says. How she got the second vehicle to play with is another issue all together.

You are making my head spin. You have a nice car, own a nice house, looking to even buy a second one, you have a decent job, you travel a lot yet you STILL collect food stamps?! WTF?

How can you not see what is wrong with this picture? Maybe if you drove a a more economical car, stopped looking at 2nd homes to buy and cut back on the travel, you wouldn't need to collect public assistance.

I get up at 5 am every morning for work. By the time I get home, do homework, feed the kids and pets, the only drink I want is a cup of coffee on my couch, not to meet in a bar.

Seriously, I have two kids. If I meet a man with 2-6 kids (4-6 kids extremely common for some unknown reason), how will we ever buy a house to support such a large family? The men are to broke to contribute to that kind of expense.

Feel free to add to the list.
Yawn.
I wonder if you would be upset if a guy, like me, said women like you are not an option. Too much baggage for a relationship, and I don't even have any children.

Something doesn't add up in the story. Either she isn't really on FS (who lies about that?), isn't as successful as she claims, or is committing fraud (either with or without the social worker's help).
