If she got child support and alimony, she wouldn’t even need to wait for Section 8.
The real question though, why isn’t she married? Marriage is the best anti-poverty program around.
She couldn’t get the SNAP, the WICs the Section 8 if she was married. She’d only take the child support if she could hide it from the government. Otherwise, she’d have to work....that’s why.
Thanks to Federal judges, in today's world she could just marry another section8 shemale and combine broods (without name changes) and double up on the benefits by claiming each other's brood. The illegals do it all the time.
She is married to the gubmint.
