Have a friend admitted to an intense LPN program - that does not allow you to work - but since she cannot work she will lose her foodstamps! Since when did the government change the rules to make it even harder for someone to go to school? Now she will have to borrow even more money to pay for food - on top of borrowing money to pay rent, utilities or gas. If she was over 60 she could still get them and go to school and not work - how stupid is that? But immigrants can get food stamps? I just don't get it. It is like the government would like her to just work parttime minimum wage and still get food stamps for the rest of her life. (which she could do). Makes no sense.
