Re: Getting Everything You can From The State?
Hello SWR. I have been flogged mercilessly for
suggesting that you should take all you can get, mostly because of my rugged individualist/Ayn Rand
philosophies. Still, I would like to join the "gravy train"
and suspect that we would qualify for "stuff".
I did look into "home heating" assistance last fall.
Filled out the application and sat for an interview.
I was told that they did not care if you won the lottery,
they were only interested in your last 30-60 days income. That was good as I did not have any during that period. About a month later I had a phone call
from someone who wanted a whole bunch of personal
information. When she started asking me about
"previous employer's" phone numbers I withdrew my
application. Probably cost us some money, but I didn't
want them calling up my former country club associates
and letting them know we were applying for aid.
Foolish pride!
