I am not on assistance right now but might need to soon because my husband is leaving me and 2yr old son. How much money can you make and still get food stamps, wic and title 19? We have never been on this before.
In indiana you can make 1300 before taxes and qualify for any assistance. It depends on dollar for dollar wahat you make. When I made 250 a week I got 76 a month. when I mad 200 a week I got 146. They put it in the computer. and give you a number. That is at least what they tell you.
WIC you can make a lot more and qualify. People on food stamps automatically qualify.
There is medicaid, in with the food stamps… that is free insurance for kids.
If you dont have insurance, try the hospitals around you and ask if they have discounted services or a sliding fee scale.
There is Section 8 which most of the time has a long waiting list… Try in house section 8. That is when apartments host there own section 8 and the waiting list may be weeks or months instead of years…
The phone companies over a service called lifeline… that is where you get your phone connected for free and get the tax taken off your phone bill… Call phone company for info…
There is also something called CCDF… that is free child care at licensed day cares as long as you work or are in school.
And try State colleges, most of them if you apply for pell grants make it to where you can go for free… actually get paid to go…
Some childrens musuems over discount programs
SOme YMCA over discounts on monthly membership… For my family we go for 20 a month.. and get 50% off sports…
At Christmas, lots of Churches will help with presents for children and food.
Some states have a phonenumber you can call to ask for referrals.. If there is a crisis pregnancy center by you, they should have a list of places that help.
There are lots out there you just have to research. When you go for your food stamps appointment ask where you can go for help.
