Some states are better with medicare-medicaid- etc.

owning a house and a car doesnt nullify benefits in PA.  tho if I was to declare bankruptsy I would do so in Texas.

as far as SS I see serious changes on the  horizen.  

im sure we all have bumped into the scammers.  they wreck it for others.

welfare in PA is $195 a month.  and if you are waiting a worker comp claim the put a lien on it and some man in a tie comes to your house- asks your neighbors if you have a boat, RV, job, etc.  The gentlment grills the individual and i nsists to know how does the individual get by.

the $195, is the same amount as it was in 1987.

Hi Sami:

I don't find it unethical, immoral or illegal to have a church sanctioned ceremony where your two friends vow to (insert vows here) in front of their friends, family and God. That has nothing to do with the law.
If they are not legally married, they AREN'T married. (except in some states such as TX where all it takes is to live with someone and to act as if someone were your spouse...tell people 'my wife this', 'my husband that')
As long as they aren't lying to the government about their legal status, and/or where they live, it is nobody's business (not even the government's) should they decide to hold a civil ceremony that doesn't carry the weight of law.

DA's budget was sorely lacking, I'm afraid. There was no room for personal care items, (even poor people like to brush their teeth, and shave), household items, (anything from vacuums, to clocks, to plates, to appliances) was any transportation included? Bus? Car payments? How about insurance payments? Even poor people (sometimes especially poor people) need insurance. At the very minimum life and health, renters is a good idea too, and if the person is lucky enough to have a piece of **** car, they will need insurance for that as well. Even poor people have to buy clothes, shoes, coats and boots once in a while... I am ABSOLUTELY sure that I am forgetting other important things that people need to maintain a minimal level of existance. Oh, and $150. per month for electric, water AND a cellphone? Try that this winter and see where it gets ya.

I have been lucky enough to be poor and not to be poor. I understand how difficult it is just to get by sometimes. Especially if you have health issues that keep you from doing what 'normal' people do.

I agree with Stella. This isn't a legal issue. (OP, have your friend request a free consult with an atty) This is a moral issue. I don't see anything immoral about *not* getting married to keep your small income. Unless they live together, and don't report that. Then they are comitting a crime.

It is not just the ceremony though. You seem to selectively ignore the name change and the fact they are living in the same household. So with those two things added in, what is your opinion now?

Anyone can change their name to anything they want.
Yes, even IF they live with someone of the same name.
I did address the living together. I said that if they lied about where they live, that does make the lying illegal.
None of the other stuff, though.
