4.0 out of 5 starsGreat book, but needs to be updated
By A Customer on July 6, 1998
Format: Paperback
When I got hit with a disability, I very quickly fell from working class to poverty. I couldn't believe that there were no books out there that would help people make sense of our nation's inadequate social support system. I finally found this book.
It is a well-organized guide to an interlocking web of state, county and federal support systems available to people down on their luck. It necessarily generalizes since the systems differ by state. However, it is good at telling you what's out there, if you might qualify and where and how you can go about obtaining help.
My only suggestions would be to add a section on the "culture" of the social work bureaucracy. I was utterly unprepared for the attitude and unhelpfulness that I found there. Getting advice from someone familiar with the system would be very helpful.
As this book was published in 1990 and Clinton and Congress have ended "welfare as we know it", this book really needs an update. I hope the author and publisher will put out another version.
