WELFARE RIGHTS Edie Pilkington 338-9586 Pat Schmidtke 337-3736 Before applying for welfare aid, food stamps, supplementary food, etc. talk to Edie or Pat who will explain the hassles, the application, the requirements and all necessary information. WELFARE INFORMATION To get on welfare, first you go to the Department of Social Services and fill out forms. Then you must see the assistant county attorney who will question you further and try to discourage you from becoming a recipient. (The more people she turns away the better she is doing her job.) If you do get on welfare, you will be assigned a social worker, who depending on the individual, will either help you by informing you of your rights, or not. Frequently the welfare office will try to encourage you to get a job (Work Incentive Program for ADC recipients), but considering the percentage of money they keep from your salary, it is not worth it. The more money you earn while on welfare, the more money your food stamps will cost and the fewer benefits you will get, so you are back where you started from. One benefit the welfare recipient receives is Medacaid, although it is important to know what types of medication the program will and will not pay for, so you are not stuck with a bill you can't afford. Welfare seekers should be thoroughly prepared for all the hassles, forms and bureaucracy. None of the programs are adequate, but they are better than nothing, and you won't starve.
