I also know as case in point that applying for any type of benefit (in Canada at least) that if you have savings or any asset beyond what they consider the "norm", you will have to live off that until it's gone. Even if that includes having to sell your vehicle, sell the house you own (if you do), or "spend" any savings you have (bank account, bonds, whatever). Why do I know this? Because it happened to me but I was lucky (or not so lucky) that it'd been beyond the time period and that my vehicle was considered old enough not to count as an asset. quote:

I know that a lot of places won't hire because of over-qualification. I've been in that situation myself.

Now kevin may consider himself overqualified BUT he's also the one who said he didn't want to start over and something about lousy wages. My deceased brother in law was a mover an shaker in parliamentary circles. That being said he stated quite clearly that should said job be lost he would gladly have accepted any position regardless of income to help support his family. Nothing was beneath him. I may not have liked him much at times, but I knew he had nothing but my sister and niece's best interests at heart.
They make you sell your house and your car before you can get any assistance? Wow, that is really fucked up. Maybe brain should be focusing his energy on that, instead of worrying so much about what the US does. It sounds like you guys could use some help. So tell me, after the gov makes you sell your house and car and you are living on the street...does the assistance include housing?
