Do you live in any of these states? See if you qualify. It sucks to be a responsible, productive citizen, doesn’t it? ;)

I live in Wisconsin. I lost my job in January. Household monthly income for 3 is just under $3000.00 gross. We have no health insurance. I tried but am not entitled to any freebies. The woman from the state told me I should have my husband cut his hours by 4 per week. That would make us eligible for food stamps, insurance, heat assistance etc.
Great, not only do they tell you when you are not eligible, they also tell you how to become eligible. Idiots!
