Aid For Dependent Children

Question: can a child still collect aid for dependent children after 18 years of age?

Answer: Nah, it's time to get a job. 18 is an adult, not a child and is no longer dependent on the parents XXX OOPS! I mean, dependent on the government & tax payers (who work)! .

Question: In order to claim my son as a dependent would I have to claim him on my taxes for financial aid? I read through fafsa that you can get financial aid for having dependent children. Would I have to claim my son on this years tax's in order to qualify for that? I am not married but the father and myself live together, I let him claim him last year (we filed speratly) because he made more than me last year and would have gotten back more claiming him. I pay most of the bills so it wouldn't be hard to prove that I pay over 50%

Answer: For him to be your dependent, he would have to be on your taxes. fafsa goes by your tax return.

Question: people in Kansas are on AFDC (Aid to Families and Dependent Children) Will they pay for daycare if you go to school, regardless of what school (community college or vocational school I go to? Will they not pay for daycare if you decide to work? Someone told me that they would pay for daycare if I went to work, but not if I went to school. Is this correct? This question is for women in Kansas that are on AFDC

Answer: In AR, they pay for daycare if you go to school ..they pay all of it. If you work, they pay a percentage and you pay a percentage. In every state their is a wating list for both programs and money is limited so apply early. it usually doesn't matter which school or program you go to but I had to go at least part time.. This is what I did. daycare charges the same if he was there 1 day or 5 so I went to school 3 days a week and worked the other 2 (still free daycare) or went to school in morning, worked in afternoon. either way I didn't have to pay daycare. Only DHS can tell you how it works in your state but if you are planning on going to school in Fall, I would not bet on having funds available. Usually takes at least 4-6 weeks for processing applications and all If money is available

Question: What are the Black leaders doing to stop children from being born out of wedlock? The government pays monies for children out of wedlock. Aid for Dependent Children, think it is called, and the last time I read something on this program, they are getting approx $300 per child. This maybe should be another question, but is our government not promoting this problem?

Answer: The Black leaders are too busy blaming whites, and the white leaders are busy passing out checks to appease them AND to keep people dependent on the government. People of all races.

Question: Is independent adult child a dependent for student aid purposes? I have an adult daughter who is 22, lives with her boyfriend, works full-time and pays her own taxes. She wants to go back to school via an online college to study to be a pharmacy tech. She is asking me for my tax information to apply for student aid and says she is considered a dependent since she is single and has no children. How can she be considered a dependent when she does not live with me and I do not help support her?

Answer: Yes, your daughter is correct, they need your information to consider her for financial aid. The financial aid world REALLY should change the word that they use because it bothers so many people who feel that they should be considered "independent". Put that word aside for a minute and realize that this has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with who supports who, where she lives or with whom, who pays rent or taxes or health insurance or anything like that. The rules are very clear and you can find them on the FAFSA website. In your daughters situation, she will not be independent FOR FINANCIAL AID PURPOSES until she is 24 yrs old, has a child, joins the army or meets one of the other conditions to be independent. Sure, she is an independent adult, but not in the eyes of the people who hand out the money for educational grants and loans and that is the way it should be. Taxpayers cannot afford to put everyone through college. Honestly, they should really just call them RED and BLUE or something besides dependant and independant since it makes for so much confusion. FAFSA and IRS definitions of dependent are completely different. Read the definitions and you will easily see why your daughter needs your info.. If you make a good deal of money, she may be better off waiting the 2 yrs to go to school

Question: Financial aid options for a dependent child, parents make too much for fafsa and can't get loans, no credit...? I am 22, technically considered dependent on parents even though I am independent on taxes and live 2000 miles away. My parents make too much to qualify for the fafsa, and I don't have credit so I can't get loans and they won't cosign. I would love to go to school, just can't pay out of pocket.

Answer: Anyone can qualify for federal loans through fafsa regardless of parents income. THey are called federal Stafford loans and they do not require a cosigner or a credit check. .... so you CAN get loans!! Call your schools fin aid office and tell them you want to take out a loan. Dependent freshman can borrow up to 5,500 per year. You get half of that in the fall and half in the spring. Congratulations!

Answer: Aid to Dependent Children is a federal term so when you talk about the social work field devoid of state distinctions then it is most likely this- though as some have pointed out in any local dept. of social services or community it could stand for almost anything. DA

Question: KS low income student taxes for this year? I am a f/t student in KS, no payments yet to be made on student loans (until I graduate), books were paid through Fin. Aid, no children/dependents-just single. I made $4731.00 for 2008 in Unemployment Insurance. I did NOT have taxes taken out. #1: Do I need to file, & will alot be taken out for taxes? #2 Do I qualify for any type of EIC or any help from the gov?

Answer: If you are single, you do not have to file. EIC means EARNED income credit. Unemployment is not earned income. So no.

Question: Pell Grants and children question for anyone knowledgeable in financial aid? On another board I frequent, a poster is defending her receipt of Pell Grants while under these circumstances: She has a child. The baby's daddy is living with her, they are planning on getting married. He supports the child and the student. She says that she's perfectly entitled to the Pell Grant and does *not* have to list his income as a source of "family contribution," and has listed her child as dependent on *her* - even though she does not work, and he provides all the money. I found this from a website. So tell me: is she committing fraud by not listing his contribution as "additional income," or "child support"? Quote: Other circumstances which allow the student to report only their income are: having a child and providing more than 50 percent of the child's support (i.e., the student does not live with parents or someone else who is supporting them). Thanks.

Answer: Ok, if she is not working, then who is claming her as a dependent? (to IRS) The sitution doesn't make sense- if she isn't working, then she can't claim her child as a dependent, because she must be claimed on someone else's taxes (she should be claimed by her boyfriend). Part of the requirements for Pell grant eligibility is to be either independent (not claimed as a dependent on anyone else's taxes) OR dependent on another, but STILL qualifying by falling below a certain income bracket. However, you cannot claim someone if you have no income, how are you supporting them? The problem is that, when filling out the FAFSA , you fill out all the info yourself, and you don't have to submit your taxes for cross-checking. However, if something looks fishy, or just sporadically, schools DO ask for this info to make sure no one is doing exactly what it sounds like your friend is doing...

Question: Do you have to pay ACD back? hi i am looking into getting ACD (aid of dependent children) now i was wondering if they will go after my boyfriend for the money to pay them back and how much money did u get for 1 child (3months)? thanks

Answer: Hi, If your boyfriend is not paying child support they will probably open a case against him. Your child is entitled to receive support from his father. The amount of financial assistance you would be entitled to depends on your income and expenses. The only way to know for sure is to contact you local Social Services and apply. I hope you are aware of the WIC program for children under 5 years of age. They will help with formula & food. Best Wishes!

Question: Will filing my taxes without my child as a dependent mess up my Federal Student Aid? I am a college student in Illinois with a 2-year-old son. I let my mother claim both me and my son because I make so little money and didn't plan on filing. I recently found out that even though I don't have to file, it's in my best interest to file because I'll get all that money back. I'm worried though that if I file taxes and cannot claim my son because my mom did already, that it will change my status on my FAFSA from an independent student to a dependent student. My mom has always claimed me and I've still been an independent student, but this would be the first time that I've let my mom claim me and my son and then filed for myself. My question is, if I file taxes (since my son has already been claimed and I cannot do so) and complete my FAFSA, will they then look at the fact that I didn't claim my own son and determine that I'm not an independent student? Should I even file taxes? Please help before I screw myself over! (Added Note): I take care of my child on my own. I go to school, work and take care of him. My mother doesn't even live in the same city.

Answer: Well here's the problem - your mother has claimed you as a dependent. Your son is entirely a secondary issue. You can file taxes and it's unlikely to impact your financial aid since the IRS and the Department of Education don't share information. You should file. They won't look at your son's status since I suspect your mother is indeed the one who takes care of him. If the ask, merely let them know your mother is the child's primary care giver.

Question: Obama's old roommate knows, why can't the rest of the US see the facts? Barack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. Barack Obama is my college classmate ( Columbia University , class of '83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University . They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it. 1) -- Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression? 2) -- Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around." 3)-- Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government. 4) -- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security. 5) --Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America . The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democratic Party, Government, and the Unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means. 5) -- Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system. Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist Scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University College classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan. True per snopes! http:/

Answer: Disagree. False. Show the link. You just put info out there without any facts and a long azz rant. I am sure you heard all of this stuff from Rush, Beck and the likes who say our presdent hates whites people when he's biracial. You cons you want to to back to the Bush years and eight years of failure. OK, when gas and food prices go back to being sky high don't complain and unemployment still hasn't improve. Don't betch and moan. I think things will get much worst once cons take control. They only care about the super rich not the middle and lower class. ❀

Question: do you have to pay ACD back? hi i am looking into getting ACD (aid of dependent children) now i was wondering if they will go after my boyfriend for the money to pay them back and how much money did u get for 1 child (3months)? thanks

Answer: I am not sure exactly what ACD is but child support is a program where the noncustodial parent helps pay for the expenses of the child that they helped bring into this world whether they want to or not. This helps parents to understand that raising children cost money and since they are also a parent the responsibility is partially theirs. If ACD is a state funded or government funded program then child support should also be involved. If the child is his then he owes money to help support his child, no free rides in being grown up. I hope this helped. Cats

Question: Why do people complain about social welfare? but ignore the fact that in 2005 , the US government spent $150 billion for corporate subsidies and tax benefits given to corporations, more than the $145 billion paid out annually for the core programs of the social welfare state: Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), student aid, housing, food and nutrition, and all direct public assistance (excluding Social Security and medical care)? Capitalism is a "survival of the fittest" mentality. If companies need "welfare" to survive, it is not true capitalism.

Answer: Because none of it is Constitutional as far as I can ascertain. The 10th Amendment states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people." This means that if it is not specifically enumerated in the Constitution as a power of government, and not added via Amendment, then the government does NOT have the power to spend public monies on it. Period. James Madison, who happened to be the father of the Constitution said: "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." The basic argument is that welfare - for people OR corporations - is not a Constitutional outlay of the peoples' money. [Same with HUD, HHS, Education, Social Security, FEMA, FDIC, etc, etc.] It is about the legality of it. Period. Because when the government exceed its limits then our rights, freedoms and liberties are in peril.

Question: Question about child support? Okay. My daughter is 7 months old, and my ex husband hasn't paid any child support. I live in TN. Well, I was on AFDC (aid for dependent children) but was taken off it. Well to make a long story short, he is suppose to be sending in the full amount that he owes tomorrow.. thank god! I was just wondering if I will get all of it, or will they break it up into payments? I wouldn't think they could because its back support, but the state of TN never ceases to amaze me! I am not on AFDC anymore. I think I was only on it for 3 mths. I can't remember. But they took me off of it because because I refused to spend 40 hours per week at a career center. I thought it was stupid to pay for child care just to sit there, when I could find a job on my own... I am not sure. I will call them today and find out. thanks!

Answer: I don't know how it is in TN, but I have the same problem my ex is ordered to pay child support but doesn't!! so the court garnished his wages so he now works under the table!!! But last year he must have worked a little bit cause they gave me his taxes cause he owd back pay and they gave it to me in full. Contact your local child support they will let u know.

Question: About Applying for Financial Aid? My son is applying for financial aid. He is a dependent child so they will need for me his mother to provide them with my information. I am on disability and didn't need to file my income tax in 2008 because I was told I didn't have too since I didn't earn much. When filling out the FAFSA form where should I say I don't have a tax return for 2008, If you can please give me some information on that I appreciate it!

Answer: If you earned 8,950 for the year, you need to file income tax for the year 2009. It may have been less in 2008. http://www.life123.com/career-money/taxe…
