I'm not sure how, I know here it's
just like where Angela is. I know the states have some guidelines, but most of
that is federal. Unless it was because you had more kids, I know my sister can
get things Nicole and I can't because she has more kids. Your allowed more
income etc because there are more in the household. Think that could be the
difference? Just curious...from my own experience, that is about the only thing
that does make a difference.
However, on Mom..they didn't even
want to look at her other info because of the car. The worker told her
point blank, sale your car and then come talk to us.

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.
i don't know how it works where you are from, but here we
still got our food stamps (card) with no changes and we HAD to but a 2000 auto
for about $16kthe only killing us on food stamps is that jackie had to get a
job to pay for our rent.
