[QUOTE="Lil, post: 713306, member: 17309"] Leafy...just tossing this out for consideration as I don't know the law in your state. Here, you would be considered a "nonparent caretaker relative" and you could apply for your own EBT for the kids. They'd stop the parents' EBT and open a case for you. At least you could get food assistance (SNAP) and probably medical, with or without Power of Attorney. Here, your actual income would not matter for TANF benefits. (Here they'd actually open a child support case against mom and dad if you got TANF, but not for SNAP.) Worth looking into, though I suppose it's possible that once the parents got wind of it they'd come get the kids back. So...downside is possible. Big hugs. [/QUOTE]
