If you're a worthless, pathetic $hitstain and you prefer watching Nancy Grace and hoovering up jumbo jacks and winstons as opposed to working, and you squeeze out more kids,....... you get more cash,....... period.
Whether it be in the form of child support or TANF assistance. Even if the toothless meth addict you had your fifth gremlin with pays child support, if it doesn't exceed what you would receive in cash assistance,..... the state will bring your cash assistance up to speed. Case closed.
Dave you seem like a great guy with a big heart. I'm sure it'd be a laugh to tip back a few shots of some fine tequila with ya. Although no matter how humane it seems to be to hand people [censored] who don't have the wherewithal to go out and get it for themselves,.......it's a failing policy and only serves as a detriment to the recipient.
SW,
I read the regs AGAIN. I see nothing to indicate there is any benefit to a woman to having multiple kids with multiple fathers as regards to amount of welfare TANF they get. The formula is based on family size but I do not see where the amount the woman gets from the state is increased by the number of husbands they have or the amount of child support they receive.
But if you look at the chart you will see that a family of four that does not receive any housing assistance qualifies for $562 a month. If the woman has another child that goes up to a whopping $648. Remember this is for a household NOT recieving ANY housing assistance.
Please explain how that added amount makes life easier for the woman. If you know how to raise a kid for $86 a month please tell us.
It is an urban myth that women have more kids just to increase welfare payments. They do so for a number of really stupid reasons but to increase their monthly welfare check is not one of them. Yeah, yeah, I know you know this guy who knows this guy . . .
I, on the other hand have done in home reviews of many welfare recipients in sveral cities across the nation. Some are indeed worthless pieces of [censored], but many are simply poorly educated women that had a crappy life before hubby left and even less now. Want to eliminate the welfare program tell me how to take care of those children. Or would you prefer they starve?
Alsp please note the T in TANF stands for temporary. Federal law limits a families welfare payments to 3-5 years.
