i'm a low income mom who is on as little public assistance as possible. i don't even want to be on this much, but that's neither here nor there. last year i was accepted into the prenursing/certified nurses assistant program at the local tech college. i was trying to get actual training...o my goodness, to get a real job...so that i would not have to spend the rest of my children's childhood on public assistance! because of my son's therapy (he has autism and is in a lot of it) i would have only been able to work part time, which would not have covered daycare for my kids at all, so i called the local dss office to see about abc vouchers, which you can use to help pay for daycare..and i found out that since i was already recieving child support, i didn't qualify, and I couldn't get more cuz i was already over the max! the welfare system sucks because it is designed to keep people in it, even those who want to get out. has anybody else heard of this or had this happen to them?
