Oh yeah, a car that was only 3 years
old would definitely get you turned down. My Mom was turned down in Arkansas
several years back when she was a divorced single Mom because of the same
thing. Her fancy new car? A tiny Geo Metro.....lol And my aunt had to co-sign
for that because Mom didn't have any credit in her own name. It had all been in
her husbands...she lived out in the country and had to travel 25 miles or so to
work, so the car was a must.
So the ones driving fancy cars,
either are driving someone else's car or doing something under the table
somehow.....if they were in their name they would be turned down. Because the
DHS "does" check, they don't just take your word for it.....know that for a
fact. lol

That
pisses me off to no end right there. I know for a fact that if you try to
apply for food stamps, you are turned down if your car is worth more than
$1000. My aunt got turned down for them b/c she had to buy a new car. Even
then it wasnt a brand new car, but her old one was no longer able to be
repaired and she got a used car that had problems on its own, but it was a
newer car and still had a higher value on it and she was turned down. She is
working two jobs and going to college and has 2 kids to take care of. She has
a deadbeat exhusband that was able to get out of paying any kind of alimony or
child support due to mental illness causing him to be disable and unable to
work. She does get a social security check for her kids in the amount of $75 a
month, which doesnt even pay her electric bill. How fair is it that someone
who is trying but just needs a little extra help cant get any help
simply b/c she needed a reliable car to get her too and from work. And for the
record her car is a 96 cavalier that she bought in 99.
