Depending on how many children are in the household, they still can draw Aid to Dependent Children. It comes on a debit card, and can only be used at licensed sites that agree that cigs, alcohol or lottery cannot be purchased with the card.
They can still get food stamps and childcare assistance, as long as they don't exceed the income limits.

What state?
There is a limit here, you can also go to school, but that is just a crock, most get all this money for school, and never go. They should have to pay it back.
They lose personal benifits after the 1 year, but still get cash and TONS of food stamps for the Children. Most food stamps are sold for Cash, that is used for drugs and cigs and things. .50 Cents on the Dollar!
We do not have an regulations on who accepts the cash or food stamp here (Kansas)
I was in Missouri, seen a sign that said
If you want to buy a Pizza, you must order the pizza, pay with your food stamps, hand the pizza back and we will cook it.
