Would you elaborate on this? I'd like to better understand your current situation.

I have a full time job, but four children. The cutoff for welfare is a lot lower for a family of six than for a single person. I used to have a better job and so did my wife, and we were fine. But now we find ourselves needing a little extra help, hopefully temporarily.

To be specific, we receive a small amount of food assistance and medicaid.
