Ok, I looked up current SNAP rules for NJ, as this was mentioned. There is a work requirement, with exemptions for <6 y.o in a family for one parent in the family or for someone studying for a job. So, I guess if amom works and studies, her husband gets the kid exemption. State of NJ should not be bothered that it is heroic amom who de facto cares for those kids, so this makes it within rules, even if against the “spirit of the law”. Is this what you mean, ujm? Thanks for legal education. I feel better now, but still do not understand why people want to go through this.
