Lots of things. The new scam is Social Security Disability, where if you're "disabled" you get a check. If a kid is labeled learning-disabled, mom gets a check, which creates an incentive to have the kids act like maniacs in school so they get labeled "disabled". Then there's food stamps (about $200/mo per person (times 15 for this woman), Section 8 housing, etc, etc.

lifetime limits have all kinds of exceptions- especially pregnancy.
easy to get around them.
