if you need it, use it.

Someone once asked me if i was on a certain program to which i responded, my husband and i both get paid on the books so fortunately/unfortunately we are not eligible.

It bothers me immensely that the middle class who works so hard are not eligible for any prgrams and struggle to pay bills (tuition, utilites, babysitters, credit cards…u name it). But those that have one income get gvt. help for rent, food, utilites, etc…

Then again, b”h we dont have to rely on those programs…

I dont know, something doesnt feel right about this whole issue. But if you are eligible, take advantage. Like a previous poster said, i’d like to know that my tax dollars are helping someone in kollel…
