My dad won't sign any papers that will go through "government." For example, when I was in college he wouldn't even sign papers for me to get a federal loan. Because it's some type of trap. She lived with us before and was paying $200 a month, this was three years ago. Social Security needed her landlord to sign a paper to say how much she was paying per-month. He refused to sign it because he "doesn't want them knowing our business," and I signed it for her.

My husband has decided to look for a job so that we can get enough money to move out. In her home state, where she came from, she didn't qualify for medicaid and only for $10 a month in food stamps. Something to do with the type of disability she is on. I think she will qualify here but she will need a state ID, ect. I wish the whole family qualified but because of my job, I make like $80 too much a month. Awesome!
D*** $10.00? Where I live, if you go over the income limit by just a bit ($80 or so), they won't hold it against you, they give you assistance...

Edt: Oh, I would even check food banks. A lot of times the welfare office has a list of food banks and churches that give away free food. Meat, milk, everything. My boyfriend's mom does that too...Sometimes goes church to church for help. Churches help with utility bills if you have a disconnect notice. You have to do your research. Options are available. They may be limited, but they are available.
