I have a 1 year old son, and my boyfriend wants me to come live with him at his house. He owns his own house. My mom is a compulsive gambler and me and my son cannot stay there anymore because she keeps taking my money that I really can't afford. I live in wisconsin and I don't know if my boyfriend has to make a lease for me or not in order to get food share assistance and my child care assistance reduced. If I can't get this stuff I can't live with him. I need to know if anybody can help me out on this and tell me if you or anyone you know has done this before.

also my boyfriend is not my son's father, I have only got 66 dollars from that bastard in the last year. he still owes me about 5000 dollars, I have 2 states on him, to try to get him cuz he only works part time. I was also married to that guy and got divorced and that guy is putting me through bankruptcy as we speak, and got my truck repossessed.

I have a 2 year old son and I was living with my boyfriend (who is not the childs father). I also get assistance and food stamps and stuff. All I had to do was give them proof of his income and a letter or copy of the lease or something that said all 3 of us lived together at that address. Unless you b/f has a really really good job they shouldn't take your food stamps. His income should not effect your child care assistance. They should only put your b/f on your food stamp case. That's how they did it for me. But I'm from Kentucky and I don't know if how different the laws or guidelines or whatever are from state to state.

I agree with HollieA. Stop jumping to conclusions, and if you guys were reading her question she states that she gets childcare assistance which means she either works or goes to school. There is a such thing as the working poor and besides she only asked about food stamps. She only wants to feed herself and child. Now to answer your question, there is an income guideline but I am not sure how each states works, contact your local welfare office and find out. Also talk to your boyfriend, if he wants the two of you to move in maybe it will be easier for you financially since you are no longer living with someone who steals from you. I wish you the best of luck.

I live in Minnesota and the rule with assistance is they will take his income into consideration and combine it with yours and if together it is too much than you won't beable to get it any longer, and if it's not to much than you'll still get it, but you may not get as much as you where getting before. So it's best to find out from your social worker what the total income is that you can make before they would reduce it or make it so you wouldn't get any more. Tell them you are trying to figure it out because your boyfriend wants you to move in and you want to know how it will affect your food support and your child care, before you make your decission. I would all so find out what you and your boyfriends income would be combined and figure out if you'd beable to offord living together without the assistance.

you can live with him an file as a separate unit with your son. which includes stated that you shop and cook separate meals.
the other option is if you file as a family unit and your combined income is still lower then the max amount. cents b/f is not the father of the child you should still be able to get medical and childcare help. but each state is different. here in Arizona because my b/f is not the father of my son ...my son still gets the benefits...where our daughter together does not cause b/f make about 10$ too much a month.

food stamp laws are different in all states,but if you are not married it shouldn't depend on him or his income,or the size of his house for that matter.Just in case talk to the welfare dept. to see what you need as far as change of address.She's not saying she doesn't have a job people,and she said boyfriend not sons father,give her a break sometimes people need help!

What are doing is called FRAUD!!!! And you could go to jail for it if the government finds out.
Guess what, your situation is not that different than millions of other single moms in the world. They seem to manage. If you get a job that pays more than $12 an hour don't you think you would be able to pay for daycare? I pay 800 a month for daycare. I don't any assistance from the government. At the end of the month I am barley making ends meet. If you can't do it on 1 income get a second job or have your boyfriend help you.

Hell, you don't have to pay rent so what are you doing with your money? You make over $2,000.00 a month before taxes? What is the problem? I am a family of 4 with rent all the other bills that come along with being a responsible adult. I manage.

What kind of example are you setting for your child?

It is people like you that make the Taxes so damn high!

Why don't you just get a job and not worry about the food stamps? You want food stamps, to live in your boyfriends house, and not work. Doesn't sound to cool to me.

Is a job out of the question?
I have never applied or received food stamps but I have heard it is a serious pain in the neck to get them.

How about either a job or have him help you out, if he is your boyfriend then at least one of you should be working and be able to support the relationship and the child. Otherwise you are gonna be a drain on the country the rest of your life.
I know it's harsh but its true, there are still New Orleans people crying about how they aren't getting money from charities anymore, over a year after the hurricane.
Assistance is not meant to be a crutch to support you to do whatever the hell you want, it is meant to help temporarily.
