good.
Really? She's a bit amoral for collecting benefits (I seem to remember some members of AT railing against unemployment and then collecting it anyway), but good that she died? Over what? A few thousand dollars that she ended up getting convicted of defrauding anyway. I hope you're just joking.

You are a delightful fellow.Nice.
That's a problem that took care of itself.
Against people getting their own money they paid into something? No.
Against pure handouts and effectively stealing from tax payers? Test every single one of them. If you have any asset that needs to be recorded and you only get assistance when you run out of things to sell.
Most states don't test assets. That shit needs to stop now. You want to steal my money? Prove beyond any reasonable doubt you need it
Until then. Fuck the poor and fuck the leeches.
My wife teaches at a local community college and she just informed me that several of her students just dropped her class upon receiving their several thousand dollar grant form the govt for taking class. The govt gives these people the money and the people jut drop out. They do not have to pay back the money or anything. The only penalty is that they will not receive another grant for the classes they dropped.
Umm.... College financial aid, and especially federal grants, is heavily regulated. Here are just some of the requirements:
Elegibility reviews after every semester. If you don't meet every requirement, you are ineligible. If you withdraw from a course without receiving a grade they reevaluate the amount of grant money received and you must repay any difference.
Maintain a 2.0 or above GPA. That's a C average.
Must complete 2/3 of all attempted courses.
Enrolled at least 1/2 time (6 credit hours).
Not in default on any Federal education loans or owe a repayment on any Federal education grant.
Admitted to an accreditted school as a regular student.
You likely will become inelligible if you are convicted of a drug-related offense (there are limits for any federal grant for those convicted of drug-related offenses).
Must be enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate program. Not all degrees are eligible.
Must meet satisfactory progress standards set by the university toward the degree.
Must not be on academic probation.
And there are lifetime limits, depending on the degree sought, on the total number of credit hours that you can receive financial aid.
Aid is calculated on credit-hour attempted up to the maximum amount for "full time student enrollment", which means 12 credit-hours.
At most, if these people were really trying to cheat the system, they would have had to meet needs-based requirements, be eligible for admission, and could only abuse the system for one semester by flunking, but not withdrawing from the classes. And if they decided to also take loans, the loans start immediately requirement repayment as soon as someone is no longer enrolled and has not earned a degree. So they may be able to cheat the system, but they are giving up any real opportunity they had to better themselves in the process.
