In sad, but not entirely surprising news, Octomom Nadya Suleman is doing what she swore she would never do and going on welfare, reports say.
The mother of 14 is getting $2,000 a month from the State of California, which sends it directly to a special debit account (see welfare card image).
The card can ONLY be used for food and is closely monitored to ensure its holder isn’t making illegal purchases … i.e. toys, pregnancy tests, etc.
Just two years ago, after giving birth to children 7-14, she said she refused to become “a self-fulfilling prophecy” by accepting state assistance.
She also said we’d never see Nadya Suleman nude. It’s a week of firsts.
Octo got for the card because her income is less than $119,000 a year and a family of 15 that makes less than that is entitled to welfare benefits.
The $119,000 figure is based on around $8,000 for each member of the household. The more kids, the more you can make and still receive welfare.
