You can technically "be off the welfare rolls" and still qualify for section 8 housing, food stamps and medicare or medicaid or whatever it's being called today. So your not really off welfare but then you are. Typical government bullshit. They feel they have at least look like they are doing something about a perceived problem while insuring they don't piss off the people living off the government teat who's voting them into office. It's just another typical government circle jerk. Don't worry no matter who gets elected they have a plan and it will suddenly all be better.
Hell, I worked for HUD a short time and there was people living on disability, and qualified for all the above assistance btw, for being an alcoholic. Apparently the lack of self disclipine is some sort of mental illness and qualifies you for all sorts of government aid.
