Let me try to remember what my friend was getting
Food Stamps $350 to $480 a month
Cash $150 a Month
Section 8 housing about $850 a month
LEAP energy assistance $1,200 Normally a year, but sometimes a small Summer amount in addition.
Free Medical for her kids, which she took to the ER for Everything...(has to be a crazy amount of $$$)
Free School Breakfast and Lunches for her 3 kids $3.5 per kid per day.
Free School for the kids (once a year thing) $300 maybe
Government Phone (No idea on cost)
Earned Income about $8,000 to $12,000 including state back a year
I am sure there is More....
In addition to the government stuff
She got Child Support and was on unemployment for a very long time.
CS was $500 a month I believe maybe $700 and
unemployment was like $400 a week for a couple years.
