Unfortunately assistance is more about what you make rather than what you are trying to accomplish. My family has been going through this for a while now. We are barely making ends meet, yet are not qualified for assistance due to our income. We make too much, which is just a laugh.

I don't have any advice except to maybe have your niece talk to the assistance department about what can be done to extend it. I think the part time job may have something to do about it.
