The topic of disability fraud is not even being discussed
There are a lot of people who hang out all day in downtown areas. They do nothing but wander around and maybe go to a library and frick around there. I see it during my work commute.
People in their 20s, 30s and 40s who are on disability because they fell out of a chair at Burger King or 'slipped and fell' somewhere. It's a big population in Houston, Baton Rouge, N.O., etc.

Of which, no one has a problem funding and providing for this group. No one.
I've seen plenty of posts on this board calling for entirely eliminating SNAP, "Cut it all" type posts that do not talk about continued funding for the disabed or elderly/retired/infirm.

When the wealthy get tax breaks or bailouts, it’s called 'trickle-down economics.' No one bats an eye on here.
But when the poor receive any kind of assistance, they’re branded as lazy freeloaders who just need to 'work harder.'
The only ones taxpayers should be mad at are the greedy employers who refuse to pay their employees a living wage, which forces them on SNAP.

Only 35% of people on SNAP in Louisiana are in a family where at least one person has a job of any kind

If 35% have some sort of income, and 37% are elderly or disabled, what's your excuse for the other 28%?

Why didn't you respond to the criticisms of that dope's post you're loving? Why didn't he? Why not respond to the criticism of yours?

How many of the 28% are caregivers and foster parents? Some are also borderline disabled.

You dont know the difference between taking less of someone’s money and giving someone money?

Way less than you think. A lot of those are in the at least one-income families, which I referenced in the 35%. They aren't letting families with no jobs foster kids.

Home-study guidance states: “The applicant must have sufficient income, separate from foster care reimbursement, to meet the needs of the family

Yes, they are in the 37% I also mentioned.
So again, what about the other 28%?

You're bringing some good receipts to this thread.

Yea, but statistics are racist, so that means I am being racist by posting them.

I believe they make an exception for foster parents who are related to the children.

How large of a number do you think that is out of the 224,000 people in the 28% number?
Also, nowhere in the Home Study Requirements does it say that relatives are not required to meet the same standards as outlined for other foster parents.
This is all it says about Kinship

quote:
Kinship Foster Care
Citation: Rev. Stat. §§ 46:286.1; 46:283
When a child has been removed from home and is in the custody of the Office of Children and Family Services, the office shall make reasonable attempts to place the child with a relative for kinship foster care. If the relative is approved to provide foster care services, the relative shall be eligible to receive payment for the full foster care rate.
The eligibility standards for becoming a kinship foster parent include the following:
The person must be related to the child's parent or stepparent within the second degree.
The kinship foster parent shall be age 21 or older.
A person shall be eligible to become a kinship foster parent only upon the completion of an investigation to ascertain whether there is a State or Federal record of criminal history for the prospective kinship foster parent or any other individual residing in the prospective parent's home.
The office shall determine whether the person is able to care effectively for the child by completing all of the following:
Reviewing personal and professional references
Observing the kinship foster parent with household members during a home visit
Interviewing the kinship foster parent
In emergency situations, relatives and friends of the foster child who have applied to be foster parents and who appear to meet eligibility criteria may be certified by the department for one 90-day period without the required training.
The department may establish separate minimum training requirements for relatives of a foster child. These minimum requirements shall include 10 hours of preservice training, participation with the department in periodic home visits and legally mandated status reviews, and annual training as prescribed in the child's service plan at the status review.

No. It doesn't say 35% work. It says they are in working families. That means they could be living with working parents, has a husband/wife who works, etc
At least try to understand what you are arguing about
