How do i apply for welfare in wisconsin?

Question

i am currently unemployed and living with my boyfriends mom. I am not working and not receiving unemployment at this time. Is there anyway i can qualify for welfare?

Answer 1

Yes.  Applications can be obtained at any fast food place, janitorial company, farm, etc.  Fill out the application and, if it is approved, you will receive cash remuneration in exhange for a number of hours worked.  

Good luck!!

Answer 2

Any government assistance is based on the household income.  Therefore, any income your boyfriend's mom and your boyfriend make would be included.  Most likely you would not qualify.  Why don't you get a job somewhere.  Since you probably don't pay rent, I don't think you would need a very well paying job or anything.  Wal-mart is always hiring...that's where I work since I got laid off from my office job.

Answer 3

Tommy Thompson reformed Wisconsin's welfare program into the "welfare-to-work" or W-2 program several years ago.  The premise of the program is that all people should be working, so, W-2 will help you find a job if you are employable, or, if you don't have the skills (GED) to be employed, they will pay you while you work on it.  Now, it is really working on it- meaning that you have to attend GED prep classes 35 hours a week.  If you are able to work, but, can't find a job- they will help you, but, you won't be sitting at home while they do.  They will pay you ($683 a month last I knew) to do work for them while you are looking for a job.  THis may mean cleaning highways, manning desks at jobcenters, whatever.  The point to this is that people realize quickly that $683 per month for 35 hours a week is LESS than they would make at McDs.  Now, when you do get a job in an "outside facility" they will assist you with childcare, and, you may still be eligible for foodstamps.  To see if you qualify for medical assistance, food stamps, WIC, energy assistance, or any other programs, please see link below.  The information you share is confidential, and, at the end for the information gathering session, you will be given the local phone numbers for the agencies that could help you.  God bless you, best wishes, and, let me know if you need any assistance maneuvering around the system.  (It is part of my job to know the answers- LOL)
