What am I required legally to disclose financially when applying for government assistance programs?
Full Question:
My husband is going through cancer treatments. I wanted to apply for food stamps. They wanted a list of all cash, checking and savings accounts. Do I have to list our 401k? Does the government expect us to withdraw our money from there. There will be a penalty not to mention we will have nothing when we retire, social security sure won't be there for us. Also, they wanted to know about all savings accounts. Am I expected to drain my children's megar savings accounts? What am I required legally to disclose?
