Hi KC, How are you doing? People are greed by nature. As long as they go by the law, they will take anything that are available to them. When I came back to Texas in 1983, there were a lot of Cambodian refugees in Dallas. A year or so later, lots of them moved to CA or MA because they don't want to work. How can we blame them if the welfare benefits is the same or even more than when they held job(s)? I was just tired of Almighty Savun(or the Republicans) who always blames
the democrats forany misdeed. ________________________________ From: Khoar Chev <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 6, 2011 9:35 AM Subject: Re: Seattle welfare recipient lives in million-dollar home Dear bawng and all, That's not a surprise...it's not illegal to owe a house ( the policies did not specify the value of the house ) and eligible for public assistance as long as they live in that house. however this scumbag should be ashame of themself to be such a greed...

Families on aid will get to keep $50 of the monthly child support payment for each month the absent parent pays on time. Failure to fully cooperate with the CSSD could result in a 25% reduction in aid, unless good cause is determined. Good cause includes the following situations: The participant is a victim of domestic violence The participant or child(ren) may be in danger if CSSD contacts the absent parent When rape or incest has occurred School Attendance and Immunizations All school-age children, except those in the Cal-Learn or other approved teen parent program, must attend school to receive aid.

I know the democrats and social workers are loving them. It is the democrats' job security. -----/-// Seattle welfare recipient lives in million-dollar home By Eric Pfeiffer | The Sideshow - 4 hrs ago A Seattle woman who is receiving welfare assistance from Washington state also happens to live in a waterfront house on Lake Washington worth more than a million dollars. Federal agents raided the home this weekend but have not released the woman or her husband's name because they have not officially been charged with a crime. However, federal documents obtained by KING 5 News show the couple currently receives more than $1,200 a month in public housing vouchers, plus state and government disability checks and food stamps. They have been receiving the benefits since 2003. The 2,500 square-foot home, which includes gardens and a boat dock, is valued at $1.2 million. And even though the couple has been receiving the benefits for nearly 10 years, records show that they accurately listed the address of their current home when applying for the state and federal benefits. A federal official told KING 5 that the couple likely took advantage of a loophole, which allows low-income individuals to receive financial assistance to help them pay their rent and move away from housing projects. However, the law does not require officials to verify what type of home the benefits recipient is living in. As if the million dollar home weren't enough, the supposedly low-income couple also gave money to various charities and traveled around the world to locales in Turkey, Tel Aviv and resort towns in Mexico, according to court records.-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org" group.
