How to Report Your Expenses to Welfare

"Hi everybody, my name is Angela Pugh. I am the mother of two teenage daughters. For a while I was a single parent. So today I am here on behalf of Expert Village and I am here to teach you how to apply for welfare. Alright the next step in applying for welfare is to add your utility expense information. They want to know who in the family pays the utilities? What type of utility you have to pay, either it be coal, electricity, fuel, gas, telephone, trash removal, water and sewage. Now they want to know the full amount. They want to know if this expense ended, you can check either yes or no and does anyone else pay a part of this expense? When you complete that click yes. It will ask you if you would like to add another utility expense. Again it will ask you who pays it? They ask you the amount. For this one you can click water or sewage. If the expense is scheduled to end and does anyone else help you pay for that? Finally after you have added all of your utility expenses, you want to take a moment to go back to take a look at everything that you have added so far to be sure that you have not misspelled anything or added anything incorrectly. The Statement of Understanding is listed and provided by The Department of Children and Families to help you understand the information that you provided to them. You need to review the information and at the bottom of that application it does allow you to create an electronic signature. The electronic signature would be a statement that says, "I choose to apply for public assistant benefits for myself and for my family. I choose to apply over the internet and authorize processing my online application with my electronic signature." Here you would click sign now so that your electronic signature can be added to your application. Finally you will receive a confirmation page, it says that your electronic application for assistance has been received. It gives you your application number and it allows you to print this page for your receipt. It also asks you if you like to receive an email confirmation. If you click yes, the email address that you provided prior will be added to this section."
