My husband just got another job and finally child support is coming out of his checks, I was just wondering (I'm temporarily on assistance with my little one til I find a job here , because we have just moved)my husbands oldest daughter is living 45 mins away but she signed up for assistance as well, she's never lived with us she's 18 and for some strange reason she's having her mail come to our house well I thought today if she has messed up my temporary assistance and how much groceries I can get for my baby and me, because she's put her address ,as ours like she lives here and has her own benefits .My husbands paying child support for two other kids,and because of so little we do get with assistance I've went to pantries and I'm just curious if I could be getting a little more help if she hadn't used our address.

I thought assistance required proof of residence, like a bill or lease with your name on it. At least that is the way it was some 23 years ago when I was on it. Did hubby go behind your back and give her some letter that stated she lived there or put her on the lease without telling you?

If you're married and living in the same home, how can you get assistance for you, the baby and not your husband?
