You have a right to a speedy trial, but not to speedy welfare. So you'd spend your time in line, and be denied, and the govt. employee who makes the determination would still get their check. What's the point, unless your time is worth less than that of the avg. welfare recipient and you're willing to waste yours to waste theirs?
On the other hand, people denied their right to a speedy trial can have their convictions overturned and indictments thrown out...
Its petty, mean and vindictive I guess, oh well.
