This review is from: Free Money When You're Unemployed (Paperback)

I found that if you live in Indiana and you are not old, your health is not failing or you are not of a certain faith...FORGET IT there is nothing available to you. Not very helpful for me. Would not recommend wasting the time to buy this book. In 5 min I was done with it. Hardly worth the anticipation waiting for it.

This review is from: Free Money When You're Unemployed (Paperback)

Title is very mis-leading..grants only apply if you live in certain states. If you need money why would you spend money for a book that does apply to you...waste of money..

This review is from: Free Money When You're Unemployed (Paperback)

This book is a good buy if you live in California, Washington, New York or Floridia or if you are Jewish, elderly or disable or any combination of any of the above listed. I live in Illinois and there was NOT a lot of information for people living here(well not a lot of info. that one who lives here doesn't already know about). If you have the chance to get this book from the library before you buy it, I would suggest that you do so, then you decide.
