What is the name of your state (only U.S. law) NY My step-daughter's mother was recently fired from her job. They are now living off of food stamps. We do not live in the same state so it makes it hard to assist them in person. We have offered to have my step-daughter come live with us to ease the burden but her mom won't hear of it. Is my husband required to re-imburse the state they live in for the public assistance? Thanks all!!!
They State will seek child support from your husband .
It's a requirement the the recipient must sign to seek assistance .
Unless she has lied to them that she does not know who the father is .
The State will keep most of the child support they collect , and give the mother an allowance of about $50.00 per month from it .
You husband will not have to pay for the Food stamps back .
People fall on hard times and as the title says it is , it's now called Temporary Assistance .
As long as the child's basic needs are meant , your husband and you should zip it .
Another of the requirements to receive assistance is tho report any outside contributions to the household , but the Agency surely isn't going to police someone who " might " be receiving gift certificates .
Get a grip. And do NOT put the child in the middle of this and give the child a complex .
Who knows , mom might go to school get a degree and end up making good money .
