It is a common misconception that everyone on welfare, is poor. In the news recently it is said that a Lottery Winner of 2$ million, Department of Human Services officials confirmed that they had told Leroy Fick, 59, that he could continue to receive aid because he took his Make Me Rich earnings in a lump sum and still met the earned income threshold for food assistance. How is that okay?
I have personal experience in having to need this assistance. Have you ever had to go into a public aid office?
Have you ever had to sit for 6 hours waiting for your name to be called?
My personal experience was, i was 9 months pregnant, and a case worker, sent me a form late. I went into the office the day i received the letter stating they needed to be sure i was still pregnant. I'm not sure why? It was with my first child, I'm not sure if maybe they thought i needed the pregnant medical care because i wasn't pregnant? the Lord only knows why. I brought myself and my huge belly into the office. Put my name on the list for my case worker to come down from her office and see me, fix the issue. Very much pregnant i then sat for 5 hours waiting for my name to be called. When i was called, the worker talked to me for 3 Min's. She got my name and looked at me and said. " yup honey your pregnant, lets fix this." So she handed me a form to fill out again. I did. The insurance they had given me instead which needed to be fixed was for women who were not pregnant. So, if i went into labor i would not be covered by the state for my birth or hospital stay. The case worker went on to talk and gab to someone next to me. Talking for about 15 minutes to this person about her nails and her boyfriend, other topics that had nothing to do with her job what so ever. She told me to then leave my paperwork and she would go right up to her office and fix the problem that happened and i should be fine, it would take her " like 15 Min's" to fix it. I should go home and rest and "do my thing". So i did. she had said that my new Medical card would arrive in the mail all fixed up. Since i was 9 months pregnant it would maybe arrive after i already had my baby but if i took and older card to the ER with me the case workers in the hospitals could find my information in their system no problem. So i went home. 2 weeks later i had my son unexpectedly. I gave birth to my beautiful baby to find out that i was not covered. Speaking to a case worker in the hospital, told me that my medical card was still listed as a non-pregnant person. I told the worker about how i had it fixed 2 weeks ago at my local office, that my case worker took my information and was to fix the problem. I was told that, " i guess she didn't do it?" When a child is born in my state they Go Right on your medical plan. They are covered by the state if you don't have one. So my child's care was covered but his birth was not. Having no job because i lost it when i was pregnant. How is that right? How is it okay for a person to have a job and be paid to do a job and yet they don't DO their jobs? I just don't understand this. How is it right to do this to people. To ruin peoples lives and make them sicker, or weaker in the world.
I guess that there ARE some people on the planet who are ON public assistance because they just want to be on it. Why because its free right? If you had a choice between Free and Paid wouldn't you want free?
You have to prove your arm is still attached to you so that they can surgically remove it when they background check you for your public aid assistance. You might need to cut off a few toes as payment to receive the assistance. They always find a way to mess it up for you. Public aid did that to me not once. but Twice. The second time i almost died when i needed the medical coverage, I birthed a Million Dollar baby. As a Non-pregnant women. I must have been the virgin Mary because one minute I'm not pregnant and then bam 7 months later I'm having a baby as a pregnant female on insurance for plain old single women.
Thank God for helpful people.
How is it right that our system is like this?
I call a Office and i get a voicemail. I leave a message and i don't get a call back.
Why have a phone if you aren't going to answer it. Why ask people to leave a message if you aren't going to EVER call them back.?
I feel those who don't need the help shouldn't use it.
I feel those who DO need the help should receive it without the leg amputation process.
Those who receive the help and don't need it should be ashamed of themselves.
Our world has come to a large greed and hate related to this earth, as Mother nature wipes out the world and leaves some alive to help others learn a lesson. I am so hoping that will help but I would not hold my breath!! Our President Obama should come back to his home state and FIX it before he even takes one step in to another country. We are working people who pay our taxes and what does he do, but take our money that we pay our taxes with and spends it on bombs what is that for. More death and destruction what we do not have enough already. I feel sad for this world. As if some do not wake up they wont last the days that are left to change this world filled with greed and hate!!! No one should be homeless ever. Our government has more then enough money for a bomb fix the housing and food and feed the homeless and make sure they have a place to live!!!
