Are there limits as to how many children a parent or parents on welfare can have?

She is on probation and we’re fine with her moving in

I understand that limiting peoples’ right to have children can be unethical, but isn’t it also wrong for adults on welfare, who cannot support themselves and their current children, to have more children and therefore ask for more money?

I feel that there are too many people out there who are abusing the system and are having children to get more money and not work. This is why I feel that welfare and other social programs are getting a bad “rap”. anon335

I am a working American citizen. If I become a Mexican citizen then come back and become an American citizen I will not have to work and get better health care and probably more money for free right? Is the catch I have to have lots of babies? anon334

All of the people that are posting for some information are under age. That’s y you should of thought in having baby’s so young. I’m a 27 year old single mom of two boys. I don’t receive any kind of help. I work so hard for the money. I also going to school for my LVN certificate. All the people that are working are paying to support all of you read this guy’s. The government help’s all this young people that are having babies. I think that’s one of the reason that more and more young girl’s are becoming pregnant. Next time use a *condom*. There is no way a young couple can raise babies on there own. anon329

I am 17 and I do not live with either of my parents. I am currently living with my cousin and he is working but we can barely afford to live in our apartment and put dinner on the table. I am trying to go back to school and get a job at the same time. I have a history of mental illness and I am supposed to be on medication but I do not have insurance so I cannot afford my medicine or afford to see a psychiatrist as I am supposed to be doing. I really need to know if I am eligible for welfare in the state of California. Thank you. vickis19

I am 18 and got kicked out of my house by my abusive mother. I don’t have any money to get an apartment for 300 a month. On top of that I still attend high school as a junior. I don’t have a job either or insurance. Not even a car. Am I able to get welfare? Please help! Fox

I am 17 years old. I live with my mother, stepfather, stepsister, and halfbrother. My best friend’s mother wants her to move out of their house and move in with me. The only problem is we won’t have enough money to support another mouth to feed. Can we receive welfare? If not, do you have any suggestions that
