how does the welfare system in your country work? lets compare.
in germany we have this official government thing called "Agentur fuer Arbeit" which means agency of work. if you don't have a job, they will pay your rent and also provide you with welfare money (called "Hartz 4").
if you are a single person with no wife or children, they obviously wont pay you a huge house. you will get a 1 bedroom apartment with maybe 30-40 square meters + heating.
Hartz 4 is ca. 390 euro per month. thats enough for some shitty food, clothes, internet and maybe a gym membership. that's it. you won't be able to afford any expensive hobbys, traveling or clubbing. you will most likely sit on your ass and play world of warcraft all day while day drinking.
BUT the people at Agentur fuer Arbeit will try to force you into any available job, doesn't matter if you want it or not. if there is a job described as "smear dog shit in your face while getting ass fucked by a hiv infested nigger for 8,50 euro/hour" they WILL make you apply for that.
if you deny, they will make a cut on your welfare money up to 30%. they can repeat this until you have literally nothing left. then you will get food stamps instead.
so, that's the situation in germany. how does it work in USA, UK, Australia or wherever you guys come from? i am really intersted. pls respond

In Australia the welfare office is called 'centrelink'. It handles all the various welfare payments like disability, aged pensions, unemployment, student support etc.
If you're unemployed they will make you keep a record of jobs you apply to, 10 per week. You're supposed to write down on a sheet they give you the address, contact name and details etc but since 99% of jobs are applied online now you just write the website. You have to go into the office once every month I think it was and they check that you filled in the bullshit sheet, but nobody gives a shit enough to actually verify it so you can write whatever crap you want on the sheet.
They also make you go to these useless faggot 'job service' places that are private companies who get paid to theoretically help you write a resume, find a job etc. In reality they are useless faggots who have no idea how to help you get work unless its menial shit.
Current payment is about $500AU per fortnight which sounds ok until you live in sydney where the shittiest 1 bedroom crackden in the worst ghetto nigger suburb will cost you like $200 a week, and bills and food are fucken expensive too.

>>24857835
>In Australia the welfare office is called 'centrelink'. It is where abo and bogans are found.
here if you have no job you get ~75euros a month for 3 months and nothing else, you will also have to work for the state (sweeping streets or something like that) 8hours a day for 150euros a month which is enough for nothing
for maximum 6 months
>>24858018
You really don't know how common CL payments are do you?
In Bosnia, you get nothing.
US welfare is restricted to the point that I have no idea how it works. There's disability and unemployment checks, the latter only if you had a steady job beforehand. Then there's food stamps. I don't think NEETbux are even an option here.
>>24857986

topkek feels good to be white and not a poor "minority"
I get $500AUD/week for having mild aspergers. No forced job applications, they give you a little extra if you do volunteer work though, and then if you do work you can still get some of the centrelink money depending on how much you're earning, so that you always get more money working than not working.
I live in a pretty decent apartment unit owned by my mum - she gets to call it an investment property on her tax return so she gets sweet deductions out of it. Rent is $250/week which covers the mortgage on the unit and leaves me plenty for food, bills and a bit of fuckaround money as long as I don't go overboard. Overall pretty sweet, still going to uni next year so won't be NEET much longer.

>>24857643
also don't forget that there is also "Arbeitslosengeld I" which will pay for 60% of your old salary, if it is higher then "Arbeitlosengeld II" (Hartz IV)
Also alot of lazy ass NEETs just go to a shady doctor say they have back problems and are never forced to find a job again because of his disability.
One additional welfare mechanism is the "Kindergeld" which is child support money which is higher the more kids you have starting at 184 Euroshekels to 221

In New Zealand work and income dishes out welfare pretty similar to AUS. Typical rent is around $110 if you share a house up to around $190 if you live alone, except they give you your rent plus $100 on top thats supposed to cover utilities and food (up to a crazy level mine hit $190 and they payed bond etc and never asked for it back)- you can apply for food cards if you need it and they are pretty easy to get. On the unemployment benefit they make you look for work and its a real bitch, honestly that kinda shit its just worth getting a part time job, you would earn as much, but the sickness benefit is super relaxed. All i have to do is see a doc once every three months and i get $220 per week, i pay $110 rent and spend $30 a week on food don't really go without anything, I've saved $300 over the last couple months so i can go on holiday soon
At the end of the day, the shit people spend money on is insane. I used to work in sales and i made upwards of $700 - 1K a week but i would spend 90% of it because i hated every second. Now that i can just be a piece of shit and play games and pursue hobbies budgeting is so much easier. If i had to go in every week and apply for work, i'd just get a part time job.
Here's my situation:
Social Security Disability, $2650 per month.
My Psychologist helped me get ruled as 100% disabled, due to my crippling depression, social anxiety and severe ADHD along with mild autism and a borderline personality disorder.
I am on food stamps (Snap), I have a housing voucher (I qualified for a two bedroom place(I rent out my other bedroom for $1500 a month), I also get a free TAP Pass (LA Metro Transit), I am on MediCal, my wireless and internet access are also paid for by the government, I also get Meals-on-Wheels three hot meals delivered to my apartment every day, I also qualified for a service that has someone come to clean my apartment and my clothes 3 times a week, I also rent out my parking spot (no car, I do have a scooter), to a family for $600 a month cash, I sell my plasma once a week at a blood center near where I live, I collect cans on my walks, and lastly I qualified for free medical marijuana I get 3 ounces a week I only use 1 so I sell their other 2 the guy I sell to gives me $250 an ounce.
So I am pretty much living hand to mouth, the major problems I have are the stigma associated with having mental health issues, and the lack of adequate support and social services coupled with disgustingly low payments from SSDI.
We as a society will be judged by how well we care for those who can not care for themselves, looking at my own case America is failing to help the most needy.
Our society disgusts me with how uncaring they are, the rich get richer and those of us on the bottom are living in abject poverty.
>>24858937
>2650
i mean, you have it pretty insanely good 2650 a month is over $600 a week, that's more than full time minimum wage..

Did you get laid off? Are you disabled in a way that prevents you from working? Are you 65 or older? Are you very poor? If you said yes to any of these, you can apply for welfare. Otherwise go get a fucking job. No, no one cares that you got a degree and "don't deserve" to work in fast food. Deal with it until you find a better job.

I'm telling you exactly how the American welfare system works. Why should anyone who can work get welfare?
>>24859394
>falling for capitalist lies
It's a pyramid scheme, fuck the rich and their pawns
In the U.S., there are a few different options depending on your circumstances:
- You can receive unemployment benefits for a short while if you've been laid off and are in the process of trying to find steady employment again. You'll receive just enough to afford the bare essentials, and there's a deadline before you're cut off entirely.
- If you live in a low-income household and have children to take care of, you can receive some welfare benefits such as WIC (pays for specific food items such as bread and cereal) and / or food stamps in general. The amount you receive depends mostly on your wages and how many dependents / children you have under your care. If you're unemployed and have children, the welfare office is going to insist that you get a job, and if you refuse to comply, they'll likely just take your children away altogether.
- If you have a physical or mental disability, and your medical records can substantiate that, then you can receive disability income. This tends to range between $600 - $800 a month on average, although I suppose people with more serve disabilities (e.g. requiring constant nursing care) probably receive a lot more. Disability income is probably the most difficult to apply for, because even people with strongly substantiated disabilities get turned down quite often. They have to go through numerous appeals or hire an attorney who specializes in disability claims. Even then, your case is reviewed every 3 years or so, and there's a good chance you can randomly lose your benefits regardless of how strong your case was to begin with.
Unfortunately, welfare politics is a popular topic with conservative lawmakers here in the U.S. They'd like nothing more than to euthanize people with disabilities so they can use the tax dollars for military spending and private "charities" instead.

NEET in Australia on mentalbux currently. I get like $500 a week, live with my mother (on disability pension of $800 and something a week), sister (who gets $800 and something a week too caring for her autistic child), and nephew (the autistic child) gets some income too for being an autist. Also fund him money for autistic learning video games. Rent is cheap as fuck because I'm in a 'housing commission', which is pretty much a piece of property owned by the government. Intend on going back to university next year and hope to not have another relapse. Being a wagecvck is going to suck since I enjoy having all this free time to go to the beach and shit.. but it'll be better than being perpetually poor for the rest of my life.

>>24857643
In the Czech Republic the welfare office is called Urad prace (Office for work?).
If you never had a job you don't get anything at all, to qualify for unemployment benefits you have to have worked a year minimum.
If you qualify you get 6 months of unemployment benefits amounting to either 40% of your average wage for the past half a year (I think it's half a year) if you quit yourself or 60% if you were let go for being unnecessary. I think you get nothing if you were fired for gross negligence. Minimum is some 200 euro a month or so - enough for maybe a shared room and some food.
You have to try to get a job while you're on welfare, meaning you have to go to interviews they set up for you, if you refuse you get cut from the benefits.
>>24857643
$250/month for 6 months
No welfare system in the glorious U.S. of A.
All of us NEETs or wageslaves live off our parents, like parasites. I don't feel bad, since I see it as a way to extract suffering from them for having brought me into the world.
My family gets free SNAP food stamps and insurance from big daddy murrican gubmint because we're poor and I'm a dependent since I study in uni full time. Our benefits got cut though and now I only get $125 food stamps. Free insurance is nice though.

If they have a diagnosed disability they can get SSI, maybe county payments, Medicaid, food stamps, and section 8 housing. The housing part can be difficult depending where one lives.
>>24857643
in Murka, all the money is divided into a hundred programs and you have to apply to all of them to get assistance.
there are things like rent and utility assistance, health insurance, food stamps, cash assistance (for when you have a job but don't make enough), and then full-blown welfare.
you will never get cash, rent, or utility assistance without kids because the waiting lists are so long. you can't get welfare without kids or some debilitating health problem.
food stamps can be easy or hard to come by depending on where you live. if you live somewhere poor where everyone's already on food stamps, it'll be hard to get them because the workers are already overloaded with cases.
there's also Section 8 housing which is free, but almost impossible to get unless you're crazy or have kids. also, everyone in Section 8 housing is a disgusting dindu nigger and they all shoot each other to death in the projects. I wouldn't take that free housing for anything. fuck niggers.
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and Food Stamps are only available to families that are significantly below the poverty line WITH children.
There's very little you can get as an adult with no children. You can forget food stamps for "free money" welfare of any kind. If you're lucky enough to have a charity hospital in the area, you can at least get free care.
You will never get free housing, but you can get housing at a very low rate through Section 8 but it takes a VERY long time and you still have to pay something so you have to have some sort of income.
Disability can also take years to get. The system is designed to poke holes wherever they can to NOT give you benefits. You have to fight tooth and nail with legal assistance to have a chance at disability, unless you fall under certain circumstances where you really obviously cannot work (missing limbs, blinded, shit like that).

>SSI
Not even close to $1600 a month, more like $500 a month.
>county payments
If you live in a heavily urbanized and wealthy county in New York or Cali, maybe: most counties will not give any support.
>section 8 housing
You will be on a waiting list for at least 5 years (and that's a low estimate), and assuming your case gets approved, you'll probably either be assigned to a decrepit and old unit surrounded by blacks and gangsters, or you'll be giving a stipend that only allows you to rent the shittiest apartment where there's probably a roach infestation.
>>24860050
They are not taking section 8 applications in the county I live in. However, I know two people a couple counties over who got theirs within a year.
>>24858937
that would leave you with $300/mo from OASIS, SSI, and TANF. SNAP is food, you probably dont' qualify for WIC or CHIP or CSFP, and FNS is for rural areas, not some urban bullshit in LA/GMA where someone is willing to pay $600/mo ($7200/yr) for a parking space at an apartment/duplex rather than a condo on Olympic or Grant.
the smallest possible payment on SSI is $296/mo and that's only if you've had prior employment. with your equally bullshit medical conditions as 100% disabled (meaning you shouldn't be able to even use a computer meaningfully) that doubles to $582/mo.
MedicAid only pays $60/mo on a prepay card used only at pharmacies, and the EBT card can only be used to directly purchase specific goods - it isn't money handed out.
direct benefits from death or something is possible if you area beneficiary of someone who died where you are a declared dependent of theirs, but that only lasts a year and is around $400/mo or so.
i can believe renting out a one room for $1500 in LA with a nice place, but no way you would qualify for one because section 8 housing is fucking everywhere in LA and that's where they'd stick you.
let's pretend the weed is legit too, and ignoring that it's a city ordnance in Berkeley and no where else, that's stupidly underpriced considering that CA has a lot of quality weed for reasonably cheap prices ($40 for an eigth of Chow for example).
so... that's all complete bullshit and makes no goddamn sense.
you're lucky to have $800 or so a month in the US in CA with all possible benefits.
>>24860081
Yeah, my cousin has a decent apartment and I'm pretty sure she got it within a year. But it's not overpopulated, inner-city St. Louis or anything like that, most of the section 8 places around here aren't completely run down. A lot of them actually look okay. I'd imagine section 8 in a huge city probably sucks yeah.

i get EITC, SNAP, and subsidies for housing and utilities because i'm chronically underemployed (nobody wants to hire an a history major and the jobs for admin type work is insanely competitive and union-controlled).

No welfare. If you're disabled or old you're on your own. My grandparents live off their savings and their son's income.
There was an old couple that would live on the street under our building. I would give them some money as they had all their food and clothes in one big garbage bag. I would see them every time I came home for summer.
One summer they weren't there. They just died.
The country itself isn't shit and the people have a very strong bond with one another. Most people know who you are by your family name. The goverment is absolute shit. They tax the poor and a lot of officials embezzle money that is meant to be going to things like healthcare or improvement of the country. The last good president we had was Rafic Hariri. The ones after are just Syrian dick sucking c.u.c.k.s.
>>24858051
So you get nothing. What country is this
>>24860327
no, see >>24860341 i'm chronically underemployed (usually between 12-28 hours a week) as a junior sales rep at Nordstrom's and i did a lot of research to make sure i can get as much help as i can with one parent dead and another in a senior assisted living center. that and the gov websites that spell everything out and the workers who know the system you have to talk to and interview with (case workers), and the people you meet who've been on this for years, et c you get a pretty good idea of how it works.
my SSI won't run out since i'm still employed, but it only lasts 6mos to a year at most. i don't have the death benefit any more so i went from 1183/mo down to 796/mo
if it's any consolation, there's really no on on benefits/assistance that i've ever met that can consistently or even wants to scam the system. they're out there i have no doubt, but it's pretty fucking hard to qualify at all when it's all your own shit is legit.
women with infants or small kids have the best chance. illegals can't apply for really any benefits since nearly all of them require an SSN. one "scam" where you can game the system a little is get your pregnant wife into the country, give birth in the US and have the gov keep you with the kid for a year on their dime since the kid is a US citizen. you then apply for family reunification and if it's approved, it's an 8 year wait for your own citizenship. if you work during this period it can be all under the table and the wife/kid apply for WIC and SNAP and all that alone and the dad works labor jobs for years until the kid's 8.
>>24857643
I didn't know it was so shit in Germany.
Here in Austria we get 50% of the last income, maximum of 1500 euros from the employment service (Arbeitsmarktservice). If it is below 800 euros, you get as much welfare money to have 800 per month in total. When I had an apartment I got 90 euro extra, which was 25% of the rent.
For the money from the employment service, you have to apply for jobs and do courses officially but no one cares, also you get appointments every two months.
The welfare money you get conditionless* for a year, then you can apply again. Because I get 600 euros from them, I don't even bother go to the employment service anymore, I work two times a week for additional 400 euros. In January I go to either South East Asia or Central America, do some WWOOFing, because fuck winter.
I am back home in summer, apply again and milk it a little more.
* it is actually linked to the employment service but you need to tell them when they need to stop sending you money, they do nothing on their own so it's practically conditionless
>>24860438
>junior sales rep at Nordstrom's
most of the people receiving welfare are employed, usually in the food industry or in retail. the issue is severe chronic underemployment where they are effectively part time employees making so little that they cannot afford to live in their area despite the wage technically meeting their needs (not enough hours) however they cannot easily get another job due to a combination of competition with other people and that their current employer (especially retailers) wants their schedule to remain open as a condition of employment.
>>24858200
Bullshit... In the USA you get all of your food, your healthcare and apartment paid for while you drive a BMW and sell drugs from your free apartment. At the same time your welfare queen wife pops out a kid every 9 months, from one of a hundred possible deadbeats, to get more money from those of us who have jobs.

I am honest. I drive by public housing every day and see people sitting in front of their apartment, selling drugs while their BMW sparkles in the sunlight. On my way home they are in the same spot with like 4 kids running around them and their "baby mama" sitting on the porch. I've talked to these people. I went to school with them. I know how it works.
>>24858576
Ask your oneitis
USA, specifically my experiences in the following states:
Florida: very easy to qualify for welfare and unemployment, but you will wait a long time before getting the former. Lots of nigs, nogs, and everything in between with kids crawling all over them who come in and sit in one chair an entire day to secure their monies. If you have shit to do, I'd suggest making a day of it. Being a confessed drug addict helps. We were on it very briefly, but my mom was too drunk to go to renew our status. It's been years so my info may be outdated.
We lived in roach infested trailers. I got lice everywhere we moved.
Up until recently, there were free clinics that had crooked doctors that you paid 100-300 bucks per visit and they write you a script for like 100 hydrocodone with a couple refills. They got busted tho. My sister used to work for gangs and cartels carting pills around the country.
Indiana: I lived with an obese family that got 2k USD per person per month. They had a well established history with financial support, though.
Illinois: disability and welfare are nearly impossible to get on. Food stamps, on the other hand, are very simple. I walked in and told them I was homeless (I was) and they handed me a card that was activated within three days. You get more for more dependents. Unemployment is a lot more forgiving too, provided you had a job for at year 6 months.
Also if you guys believe any NEETbux thread, you're retarded. There are rare situations like in Australia with spergs but unless they're showing proof they're bullshit and at least making much less than advertised.

I'm a bit of a special case, but here in the US I get:
-$1050/mo from Social Security
-$200/mo from SNAP (food stamps)
-Free health insurance from Medicare (federal government) and Masshealth (state government) which means I pay almost nothing for doctor visits and medication.
Right now I'm living at home and paying rent but I will eventually apply for discounted housing if I can't find a cheap enough apartment, but that just means I'll have more money I'm able to save/spend.

Basically I get social security from my deceased father because I'm "disabled" (clinical depression, anxiety). To get it you have to have a deceased parent that has paid into SS and be "disabled" on or before you turn 22.

I'm in the US.
Basically, you dig through a dumpster for half-eaten burgers and shit that aren't maggoty, and try to find a quiet corner in little used alley to hide while you attempt to get some sleep without getting what you have stolen and the shit kicked out of you by drunken rich kids fucking around. The rest of the time, you shuffle around trying to avoid police and smelling like you haven't bathed in months because you haven't (no public bathhouses, etc.).
There's housing and shit, but the wait to get in is years long. I have some disabilities that my old doctor was sure would qualify me (schizophrenia, a degenerative neuro condition, some other crap that makes it hard to hold a job), but I got turned down after two appeals in three years. I tried begging, but I have bad shakes and twitches, so people figure I'm contagious or a wino with DTs. Doesn't help that some fucking kids kicked my front teeth out last summer. At least it is warm this December.
Anyhow, yeah, that situation in Germany sounds pretty bad, man.

Yeah, I see guys like you all the time, the dudes that are too far gone to even beg. Figure it's only a matter of time before I'm where you are.
I guess the US is just doing what 90% of the world does (see Lebanon, >>24860350).

Fuck, man...this kind of shit pisses me off.
I'm sorry.
