I'm fairly certain this was an American woman who said "No speak English" because she didn't want to be interviewed.

Or said it because it's easier for an illegal to get government assistance than it is for a US citizen.

What do you have against these people, anyway? You seem to be very quick with the anger when it comes to speaking of people on government assistance. $2,000 dollars for heat over the course of approximately 6 months works out to roughly $333 per month for heating. That's a fairly expensive utility for someone on a fixed income. What would be your suggestion to someone in this situation?

I would suggest getting a job that paid $6/hour, working 60 hours a month (that would be 1.5 weeks per month) and paying the bill herself.
That 1.5 weeks is probably more than necessary, because the $333 is the new total, and she wasn't paying zero under her former circumstances.
