Nah, don't you have to show up or stand in the gubmint line?
To apply, not always. However depending on the benifits once you are accepted you get a case manager and have to go down, talk with them, have meetings etc etc.
How many times over the years have you had to go in for an interview?
Congrats, you get my very 1st fuck you.
Unlike you I actually put my money and time where my mouth is. Its not easy for the very poor to get around in rural areas, so I have played shuttle for those in need. You do make sacrifices when asking for help, there is a loss of privacy that not everyone would be comfortable with. And for some, hell yes there's shame.
I bet you've never looked honest poverty in the eye and yet you come in this thread and run your mouth.
