Maybe I am indeed behind on how gov assistance works and I would appreciate explanations. The one that I used, in a conservative state years ago, required one to search for a job, provided me with classes in resume-writing. I think there was an expectation/requirement to do something job-related every week. I looked up current NJ SNAP rules and they also mentioned some employment search requirements, listing groups (like college students) that are exempt.
Are you saying that gov assistance in your state does not expect people to look for a job and take it if they find it? There is Mr. Yang, always candidate for something, who advocates minimal income for everyone. I would say that, depending on how it were worded, this could be an ideal solution for a learner. Hopefully, in ten years, there will be enough workers to support all slackers, but meanwhile we can have 10 years of learning for everyone.
