I am currently on welfare in New York State.
Before you go off on a rant about your tax dollars let me fill you in.
I get foodstamps, Cash assistance, and medicad.
Now my question is :
In New York (as is probably true for other states as well) to get cash assistance, you have to complete 40 hours a week of job search, job training, volinteer work, or other job related activites. Then after you have secured employment, they slowly wean you off state assistance. Then thats it your own your own. I am currently about to be in this situation. I start my new job next month.
Now my question is if any state offers a free budgeting program for people who are just getting on their feet after being on state assistance?
If not, don't you think we should have one?
It is much harder to budget your money if your not required to. And I feel that it would help people stay on their feet and not revert back to state assistance quiet as often.
What do you think?
