This theme was touched upon in another thread and I wanted to discuss it further.

No they come from different departments actually. And they have different income cutoffs for qualifications. For instance WIC may be an income of 40,000 and to qualify for foodstamps/welfare it's under 18,000. (those are numbers I guessed on except I do know WIC is quite a bit higher). So it is very likely that many many people who get wic do not qualify for foodstamps or other things.

And on the other side if your income is $10,000 a year and you qualify for all 3 and other things . . . they may consider wic benefits towards your income, which might be about $900 a year. So the combined income & wic for that family is $10,900. If the cut off is still 18,000 for foodstamps they would still get foodstamps.

All theoretical but the whole argument that there are women out there having more & more babies to qualify for wic is hilarious.

I don't know if it is because I live in a higher cost of living area or what, but that is so low as to be absurd here. Or else it is a transitional facility, which isn't Section 8 housing here. And isn't an apartment either, but a very very small room with shared common areas and shared chores(with about 20 other women).

"Every person who works to support the system has the right to expect that every person who takes from the system does everything in their power to avoid using the system . . ."

No there is no right to expect it, you can certainly wish for that.

The rest of the post, well there isn't much else I could say here about such judgments.
