I don't know anything about this but I am asking in regards to my niece who's child is in my care. She just started her second year of college and has decided that she wants to change her major. (she was going for business management and just this week she decided she would like to go into teaching). When she called her DHS person about it they told her she only had 14 months left of her state assistance (??). My question is...why do I have one parent who doesn't go to school, has a full time job, is on her second child and is living with the father able to get child care assistance but my niece who is a single parent, going to school full time and working part-time given a cut-off? I don't understand it, hopefully someone out there has some knowledge of this so I can pass some advice onto her. She is really stressing about this.
