It makes sense the way the system works. For housing and insurance. You go from poor with government housing and insurance and then when you get out of mud you go back to being homeless and not having insurance.
Like it doesn't make sense for me to look for a job with better pay because if I get better pay I will lose out on the help. I wouldnt be able to afford anything. The pay increase I could get wouldn't be enough to live off at the prices of non subsidized housing and insurance.
There's not really incentive for success.
I got kicked off Medicaid for making like 50¢ over their limit iirc. The pay raise set me back.
