"Hi, everybody my name is Angela Pugh. I'm the mother of two teenage daughters, for a while I was a single parent. So today I'm here on behalf of Expert Village and I'm here to teach you how to apply for welfare. The next step in the application process is your household employment information. Is anyone working at a job or about to begin a job? Has anyone on the application stop working in the last past sixty days? Have you been offered a job and refused a job? Or are you on strike, or you self employed, or do you receive any payments for a room and board? Once you complete this part of the application you hit continue. They want to know if you are receiving any child support, estate trust fund money, any disability money, union, military, veteran benefits. Have you applied for any of these benefits and just not been approved yet, you continue with this information that gives them all your income information. Finally, they are going to want to ask who has the income, the amount of the income, what type and how often this is received? Once you complete that information of course you click continue. Alright next the economic self sufficiency application wants to know what your expense information looks like. Please tell us about the expenses of the individuals that are applying such as, your shelter cost, your utility cost, child or adult daycare in order to go to work. Your heating and cooling cost and your health insurance cost, does anyone applying for pay child support? Anyone that are applying for or receive low income housing energy assistance (LIHEAP)? Has anyone received that benefit in the past twelve months? Does anyone applying for have any unpaid medical bills for the past three months and does anyone your applying for currently homeless? Once you complete that part of the information you hit continue and then the application wants to know a little bit more about your shelter household information. Who pays for your expenses, how much, what type of shelter? And any comments up to five hundred characters that you may want to add to your application can be added at this time."
