A. Aid to Families with Dependent Children does require the guardians to go to a work shop to help them get a job. There are some exceptions such as if the child is a special ed student. I'm not sure what 'work-first' is.

AFDC block grant--effect on neighboring states with differences?
Q. What might be the effect of having very different welfare programs in neighboring states be now that states are free to put forth welfare programs in whatever form they want? (This is with the AFDC having block grants from the 104th Congress.)
Asked by _ - Mon Sep 17 23:29:36 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There won't be much effect. People don't usually move to a state just for it's welfare benefits. States with higher benefits often have higher costs of living so it all tends ot even out in terms of the absolute value of services provided. Poor people have very limited mobility.

Do you think that the change from AFDC to TANF is what encouraged gangsta behavior in children?
Q. AFDC allowed moms to stay home and supervise their children---TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) put everyone out to work at dead-end, unfulfilling jobs---and put children into the daycare system...later more latchkey kids to experiment with everything known to humankind...Thoughts on this? Shannon & Treasure: Just in the fact that children have NO supervision...are free to go/do whatever they want...starting at VERY early ages
Asked by Holiday Magic - Wed Oct 10 15:16:12 2007 - - 6 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Yes having read what you asked twice I agree with day care for the younger pre-school kid, but see where the problem would then arrive as they would finish school and unsupervised. It will lead to all types of anti-social behaviour, gangs etc. At that age the moms should be able to get part time work, and some kind of income tested assistance.

Asked by Isabel - Wed Sep 16 20:41:48 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Food Stamps, Work First, Aid to the Disabled (state vs Social Security Disability), OAA (old age assistance), child care supplements, Medicaid. Some people also consider things like QMB (qualifying medical Benefits where the state helps pay Medicare premiums) as Welfare. In general if it is help that comes through the dept of social services it is considered welfare. The exception might be PUP funds and similar programs with other names intended to help a parent or guardian and a child who has been abused get into a safe living arrangement.

Asked by jordynorr100 - Sun Jul 15 21:36:28 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Aid to Families with Dependent Children one of the main requirements for this program is you MUST be actively looking for employment and will have to participate in their "work search activities" and you must have little or no income. If you do have income it must be below what ever the standard grant amount is for your family size. Any earned income will count against your grant. There is a time limit on AFDC. Five year lifetime limit. As for child support they will probably nail the dad (that's how the state gets paid back) even if he does live with you.

A. Are you disabled? That is how you would qualify for SSI - for food stamps and AFDC you can have little to no income to qualify. And for AFDC you can't be getting any child support for your children. If you need help then put in the application! That is what it is there for. If you are capable of working and just haven't found a job you can and should get help until you get back on your feet. If you are disabled and can not work then use the services.

Texas AFDC Payments? Child's father disabled.?
Q. My ex husband has been on SSI and is 5 months behind on child support. He has been applying for SSDI and has been promising that I would get a backpay check from his disability for our daughter. He called today to say he was approved but his SSDI amount would have to be at least $500 a month for our daughter to qualify for a check and he was only approved for $411 a month SSDI. He told me I could apply for AFDC payments because he is disabled and unable to pay child support. I have no idea about all this stuff (I'm not originally from this country). Does what he has said sound right? How much are AFDC payments in Texas? Thanks.
Asked by constantdreamer82 - Thu Jun 18 19:03:58 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. there is SSI (suplimental security income) or SSD (social security disability) Actually if he got approved for SSD, he may only get $411 but that is for him Your child is eligible for "child support" type payments from social security!!! You need to call them or he can or bring him right into court and they will set it up. If you go to sign up for AFDC then you will get money from them (welfare) then THEY will bring him to court for child support and they will give you welfare and keep your child support. AFDC payments depend on the cost of living in your area, I live in a small town in NY the amount someone would recieve here is far less than if they were in NY city so it depends. Anyway I would definetely look into the SSD payments… [cont.]

Asked by dorsey - Wed Mar 7 19:24:57 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. TANF is Temporary Assistance for Needy Families; AFDC is Assistance for Families with Dependent Children. The name was changed from AFDC to TANF to be more politically correct; there were a few more or less cosmetic changes that went along with the name change. Yes, it is still "welfare" but those involved disapprove of that term. There are, at my last count a couple of years ago, 77 different programs that are available to women and women with children. Far fewer are available to men or men with children, like WIC (Women, Infants, Children), Women's shelters, etc.

Can I work even though my mother receives AFDC Welfare for me?
Q. I'm 16 years old and I live in California. I go to a charter school. My mother receives AFDC Welfare benefits for me every month. I was told that I can work and the benefits will not be cut off. If so, will any of the money from the benefits be reduced? My mother is physically disabled to the point where she can hardly walk. My step-dad is legally blind. Please do not give me any smart comments because they have worked hard all throughout their lives. If you were born with a physical disability and nobody wanted to help you out, how would you feel? You would be homeless and lonely. I'm only 16 and in california you cant work right after you're born :] so i'd appreciate it if you didnt call me, my dad, or my mother, a "sponge" :] Thank you.… [cont.]
