| − | Whenever you work, you have to pay money towards the government in the form of income taxes. You pay sales tax on almost everything you purchase, and also you pay real estate taxes on your house. The government takes our tax money and splits it up as they think fit. Money would go to the schools, some goes to fix the roads and pay government employees like police and firemen, and some from the money would go to pay individuals looking for financial help. These programs are known as government assistance programs. They're set up to help individuals who've fallen on hard times and who're having trouble making affording the fundamental necessities.

You can start by going to sites like benefits.gov USA.gov, and check your state's DCF website. You'll then want to find out what the qualifications are for the various programs. You will more than likely have to show evidence of employment or the lack thereof, and evidence of income, if any, for the household, in order to prove you're a low-income family. Additionally, you will need to show proof of any dependents who depend on you for care, such as young children, or elderly and disabled relatives. If you're able to prove this stuff, you should have not a problem finding the assistance you need.
