Just shameful. I found myself in a position where I was depending on support from my soon to be ex husband and he stopped paying me for an entire year. I was responsible for caring for a special needs child and had no family and or anyone else to help me. I turned to DSS for help with food and was told I made too much income since my husband sent me a check for $2,000 four months ago. Their reasoning was that I was indeed receiving support. Sure, it was only $2,000 for a year but it was support. They put you through so much humiliation you just give up after awhile.
