@reardon15 @rbreich Not working isn't the same as living off nothing, otherwise some additional folks would get jobs.
In some situations folks get government handouts. My sister, many years ago, lived in Kansas. She was trying recover from drug and alcohol abuse. The state payed for full time schooling and provided enough benefits for a good chunk of room and board for her & kids.
Crazy sounding to me but might have been the best approach.
