Did you pay them back? If so, that's not really govt assistance. I don't think unemployment insurance should count either, it's insurance.When I was in law school and my wife was working, we were eligible for section 8 housing and took advantage of that. We also both received student loans from the government.

Unemployment insurance is paid for by employers to my knowledge, and student loans are repaid.
So your company health insurance is also govt assistance?
Are you purposely trying to avoid the subject by refusing to respond to my post?
Of course it isn't and nothing I have said even implies such.
Looks like you said it to me.After all, in a sense, you are paying for the unemployment insurance, as it is an amount that your employer is paying that isn't going to you. (Your employer thinks you are worth X and he pays you X minus the cost of health care and unemployment insurance).

Go without what?I've never received the type of aid GND asked about, though I'm sure there were times in my life that I qualified. I just didn't consider myself needy enough to take away from someone who really needed it. There's always a waitressing gig or similar if someone wants to work.
Having said that, if I were in a position now that my child had to go without because of my finances, then there's no question. I would suck up my pride and fill out those apps.
What's the real issue?Oh good grief. Are you that obtuse? I was merely pointing out that the employer takes things out of your paycheck and feels that you are worth what he/she pays you plus all the benefits, which include your insurance and unemployment tax. Therefore, technically, YOU are paying for both.
NOW will you address the real issue here?
Dammit, I keep forgetting that I am supposed to be ignoring you, because you do this every time -- you can't debate the real issue so you pretend your opponent has said something different and you debate that instead.
I haven't received government assistance, unless disability for maternity leave is considered assistance.
None of these, but I've gotten government assistance via stafford loans and tax credits for college tuition.
Nope, nothing. I did get unemployment once, back when it was $47.00 a week.
