Now I know we qualify with my hubby laid off, but Im just too discouraged to even try. 5 years ago when we got married we went thru trhis process and our case worker actually told us that because we were white, our chances were pretty slim so we should just give up.

We were told in June that we qualified for emergency benefits that would go through in 7 to 10 business days. We didn't see a dime til late August. They did give us "back benefits" which was nice.

I hope that the class-action lawsuit comes through for you. And like you said, I worry about people who don't have other resources like you do.

If you are experiencing this mess, how on earth do the functionally chaotic and incompetent manage? Do those people who have learning difficulties have to navigate this system too? What do they do? Starve? Hold up a bank? Good on you for keeping your head through this. Goodness me. If you are experiencing this mess, how on earth do the functionally chaotic and incompetent manage?

In CO, able bodied adults might not qualify at all. Kids come into the picture when they need food and/or the parent or guardian must care for them, limiting employment opportunities.

We had to apply for fs last year when DH was laid off and, thank goodness, the process was seamless and we had help within ten days (Kentucky). I hope that the lawsuit will make the system more just for everyone in need. God's blessings for a wonderful Thanksgiving. Love, Denise PS> Baby A is sooo cute! MHM,

The hoops you have to jump through are a nightmare. Thankfully I live in a state where I was processed pretty quickly, but I don't think it was 30 days. But in the end it is temporarily worth it. It is not something that I want to be a part of forever. But for now it helps make ends meet. I'll pray that things move in your favor quickly. I feel your pain!
