My wife works in the field that takes care of welfare sign ups and cutoffs TRT, no you don't know better. There is a lifetime 5 year limit for welfare payments.

nky said welfare and food stamps. You carved out one word (welfare) of his post and tried to make it look like there is presently a 5 year cap. One of the things that Obama considered worth his time, other than playing golf, was to immediately begin to alter the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act passed signed into law by Clinton. It presently bears no similarity to the it's original form.

On the other hand. There is no limit on how long people can receive food stamps.
