I think its meesed up and unfair. I work in a store so i see ppl who is getting it and probably shouldnt be all day. I applied and got only 65. Wic is limited but its good to have and they dnt take you through all that trouble or ask for much.

Omg here in Augusta ga they keep denying me they say I make too much but I'm leaving work to finish school so hopefully I get approved. It's like ppl who cheat the system get it but those who honestly work and earn a living get blown off!! I hope Illinois takes better care of me.

I spent the past week on the phone trying to get my benefits, they wanted my landlord to sign saying where I live and how much rent I pay, my boss to send in unemployment verification, copies of my utility bills, I mean the list went onnnnn. Im applying for food stamps and temporary cash assistance though because I haven't worked in months! The process is so ridiculous, like I had to pay 20 $ at ups to fax in all the paper work! It shouldn't cost me money to get help!
