To be honest, after the complicity of the Roosevelt administration in the deaths of six million Jews, legitimate use of entitlement programs to help build Torah is proper reparations. However, depending on this aid is demeaning to the kovod of Yiddishkeit and Torah, and they really should only be used in cases of extreme need, or during a limited time in which one is in kollel and raising a family while preparing for a life spreading and teaching Torah.
