There should be NO such thing as a recruiter for government benefits.
If a person is in need, their family needs to provide help or actively contact someone to provide the help from a program, if necessary.
AGREED! There should be people who actively DISCOURGE people from getting government benefits.
I knew a woman who spent many years on welfare. She was upset that her 18 year old son had to go down to sign up for “benefits”. Her complaint was that when he turned 18 he should have been automatically enrolled.
I almost fell off my chair.
