OT: How much is a monthly welfare check?
Oh goodness! You ask the easy questions!
With six different agencies to provide financial and or living assistance, it is difficult to gauge. States also run their own programs. Thus, one can be receiving assistance from federal and state funded programs. As states are responsible for their own budgets regarding their own funds, it will vary from state to state as well. Here is some information that might help explain and/or get you started in finding an answer. The only true way to know is for the person to apply for all means of assistance, qualify or not, and then either be awarded or not benefits from the different agencies. *sigh*
