apushatayid – “Health. Leaving aside Dina dimalchusa and when it applies or the pros and cons of paying taxes. You seem to be advancing an argument that it is permissible to lie. What happened to midvar sheker tirchak? Did I misunderstand?”
I see no problem in lying. Lying is Mutter for Sholom, for sure it would be Mutter for Parnossa. The only problem would be stealing, but it’s not because they are giving it away to those who meet their guidelines. So the only reason not to take it is because you are breaking their guidelines, but this would fall under Dina Dmalchusa Dina, which you don’t have to keep.
