Pittman's paper highlights the strategies grandmothers devised to keep grandchildren in their care without jeopardizing subsidized housing, such as keeping children's names off leases to avoid being disqualified for senior housing. In some cases, grandmothers were not getting benefits available to them or were jumping through unnecessary hoops to access services because they were misinformed.
In most situations, parents either failed or refused to contribute financially to their children's care. In one case, a daughter left her mother to care for her 2-year-old daughter without transferring the child's public assistance payments -- leaving her mother without any formal support or income. And in some cases, parents removed or tried to remove their children from a grandmother's care to get subsidized housing or resources the child was eligible for.
Child care was another challenge. One grandmother quit her job because she couldn't find child care and had to rely on unemployment income and help from friends. Another was prevented from seeking a job because she couldn't afford child care. She couldn't get subsidized care, since she wasn't her grandchild's public assistance payee, and transferring those payments might have jeopardized the child's safety if her mother took her back to claim the benefits.

Any who trusts in the US Government to provide for them will be severely disappointed.
Disappointed in the quality of their Obamaphone, their subsidized housing, their spend-anywhere EBT cards?
Sounds like the grandparent’s own children failed them.Dump the child but keep the child’s benefits.Somebody needs to go to jail.
Hey, hey, LBJ, here’s your Great Societay!

Yep. Now down to 4 and 5 generations of this cycle of poverty.
Johnson declared war on poverty. But guess what? Poverty won. Especially when it was designed by the State to win.
In a Republican administration, this would be touted as cruel.
In a Democratic administration: ignorance.
This is why the media is hated.
Our government pays people to make poor choices.

They did such a great job with their kids, that now they get to eff up the next generation!
what would you do?
These sluts sleep around and the babies born to drugged up women often have multiple problems. The grandmothers who failed at rearing their daughters are now in charge of the babies she pops out for her welfare checks. Grandma doesn’t get the payments but the slut and her boyfriends cash the checks. LBJ should be roasting in Hell for bringing such degradation to the Black race while buying their votes by giving them Free Stuff paid for with taxpayer money.
For people that get free housing, free medical care, free schooling, free ebt for groceries, free cars, free phones and so on and so on.. they are always complaining and trying to get more.
Perhaps I’m jaded: I teach in an urban high school. My students are third generation welfare and they are currently producing the fourth generation.
God bless you.
And keep you safe.
forced sterilization and drug test the bastards
Science Daily?
You could say that it is the fault of parents when their kids try addictive drugs. But then you would have to also say that it was the parents fault that some kids over a hundred years ago grew up to be alcoholics.
Many thanks. That really means a lot.
When you pay women to have children, you get unwanted children.
It should be looked at as individual cases, but that would make the job way to hard for our government paid Socialist Workers.
We have not only failed our own USA born children and families, we are now inviting foreign children to break our immigration laws, and come here illegally to be used as pawns in the government paid Socialist Workers programs.
Because compassion...SMH.
