I checked CA's "Department of Social Services" website and according
to the latest pdf, a "single recipient" was getting $468/mo. Not bad
at all, especially if you don't live in the city. But, it doesn't say
what, if any, kind of red tape is involved, or any other stipulations.

It sounds like you may be singing the loser's anthem before the game
even starts. Perhaps more facts would allow people to offer more
helpful ideas. Are you disabled, lazy, alien or whatever? Each
situation could point to different answers. Of course, we know you are
asking for a friend.

I strongly suspect he is trolling to stir up a pet peeve. It's a red
meat issue.

No, not disabled. I'm just seeing what my options are, and how viable
an option going on welfare is as opposed to working.
There's a lot of overhead involved in having a job. Most people don't
factor this in as debits against their income, not to mention the time
and mental costs of working. I suspect if most people really thought
about it, they would realize how little they're actually left with at
the end of the day. Cashing a welfare check, on the other hand, is
100% profit (or almost, like in the case where you have to pretend to
be looking for a job).

ggod luck getting welfare if you are a single non-disabled male. also many if
not most statea require you to work to get welfare.
