So whats the thing single mom's file for when the have babies or are pregnant that helps them pay for medical/financial things?? sorry that doesnt explain it very well but it's driving my crazy and my boyfriend doesnt believe me that such thing exists!! thanks
Around here the program is called WIC. They supply wellbaby care, as well as milk, cheese, cereal ect.... Is that what you meant???
kinda! Arg...it's driving me half mad!!! haha!! Not alot of people like it because the the gov. takes our tax money to help pay for the things people need in this program and people dont like their tax money being taken but it helps ALOT of people who are single parents and cant afford health care and only make a certain amount of money!
Are you talking about Aid to Dependant Children?
nope not it either!! AHHHHH!!!! :eek: i hate not knowing what it is, lol!!
I don't know what it's called but my mom has/had it. She's since been remaried for 9 years but my dad still pays her for my school books and things like that.
thats child support! i use to have that from my mom! but it's something that as a single parent, they file for....(something)
Are you talking about Welfare?
Or WIC, which was mentioned - which is a program to help Women with Infant Children
it may be welfare, but here in Iowa they call it something else, even tho it's the same thing as wellfare! thanks!
I was about to ask if it was Welfare also - Karen beat me to it. I hope you recall the name - I was thinking about this as I fell asleep last night..Welfare?........ ADC? .........WIC?........ZZZZZZZ
Those particular state funded programs are income-dependant, NOT marital status dependant. While the two might seemed linked, they don't have to be. Sometimes, even married people are poor. ;)
Are you thinking of becoming pregnant?
Medicaid pays for medical care for children without insurance if their parents qualify. That's the only thing I know of that hasn't been mentioned already.
I was thinking welfare or WIC too - but there are some programs that are run by the state, so it may be different in your state than ours.
Are you pregnant?
That's what I was thinking - do you have some news for us?? Don't keep us waiting! ;)Quote:
