hello everyone my topic is Tennessee welfare this is something I am very passionate about  because I receive these benefits because I am a single working mother of ONE and this is a very helpful resource so heyyy why not? .I have no shame in the title it's all about how you receive it. The program in Tennessee is called families first and it consists of free or discounted childcare and a monthly cash benefit of $140 a month for 1 dependent and any additional children are $40 extra but it does have a limit to the offspring that can be added on the case  and also this program is only a once and a lifetime deal and is only available to a client for 60 months which is equivalent of 5 years. There are no extensions and this system does not start over for each child that Is born. the time starts as soon as you start receiving benefits and however it doesn't matter how many children you have at the time. The 60 months the states gives you is mooooorrre than enough for anyone to get on their feet and do something with their lives and hell it's enough time to get a GED and a college degree. Today's society if very lazy and dependent on government assistance. Others forms are Medicare, Medicaid, and Supplemental nutrition assistance program AKA food stamps. All of these are made to help you but a big percentage of the recipients are abusing the system making it hard on people that could really use the help.
