Ya I go a little nuts when I get mine. Then as the month goes on, I slow down. I get 800 a month too, but there's five of us, and it doesn't go as far as it used to.

Someone told me you can claim your unborn..that true?!?

right now i get 200 but i'm working on adding my son and adding my pregnancy. So i know i will get more for him and i think they do give you a little more while your pregnant since you are required to eat alot more during pregnancy.

I have not heard that...won't hurt to call and ask

@babiescomin2011 no, you cant claim an unborn child because all agencies require a social security number for each person listed. But you can add the baby as soon as you get his social and bring in the crib card or letter from hospital showing a live birth. Since it takes a while to get the birth certificate in some states. But you should qualify for medicade and Wic, and according to specific situations you may qualify for TANF.

Ok I wasn't sure...thank you

I get food stamps $200 just for me, I went to welfare last week because I thought I would get more for my pregnancy but they said not until I give birth. They did tell me to apply for WIC tho..

I was told to bring nmin the mothers copy of the birth certificate and the paper showing you applied for the social security card and the baby is put on food stamps right then. I have a family of 5 and only get 620 dollars a month.

caroline8_p

Yes @loveourlittleone, just call and ask. Before taxes (lame)

I was getting $367 for me and my boyfriend, but he decided not to do this stupid ass month long class. So now is only $200 for 'just me'.

They cut all funding to WIC here in IA. To save money. But I still get food stamps. I signed up a yr ago and didn't know I was approved so now babies on the way and I got 700.00 to spend.

jcbowker

No I struggle everyday to feed my family and yet I make too much. I get no assistance.
