Are students eligible for welfare?
I know all about financial aid (which in no way meets all the costs of school even the maximum amount) I missed out on the cal grants, and bog waivers for school so I see how easy it can be to miss the help you really needed.
Many people have very low to no income that do their best but could use help don't know they are eligible for help. Personally I worked for years inbetween school not knowing I could have gotten a little help with housing in CA.
So I wondered being a starving full time student myself, can a student get help from welfare? If they have no kids? No parents?
How does welfare work, do you pay it back when you start working again? Or government gets the money back on your taxes the next tax year?
Some of us weren't born with a trust fund or inhertitance so please don't be rude, It's a serious question for those brave enough to share their experience. Thank you for answering if you can.

I'm not sure, It seems like there are alot of government programs that are suppose to help people but are hidden, even schools don't tell you all about the grants you may be eligible for. Did you know even corperations get welfare! But people treat you like you're a criminal for needing help. Don't be afraid to ask.

Go to welfare office and tell them how much you make, and the bills you pay. They tally it up and see if you're eligible for food stamps or money or whatever.

get food stamps, you dont have to pay them back, it comes out of everyones taxes, just make sure you dont make over the houshold income... i am a single mother working my *** off to support them, and i have to get help, i am on food stamps. just go into the nearest office and apply, it wont hurt just to try

Vistit California's Dept of Social Services at:

There you can see what is available to you and what you have to do to get help.
