HUMAN RESOURCES OF ADMINISTRATION PUBLIC ASSISTANCE

PUBLIC ASSISTANCE (HRA)

I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 YOUNG CHILDREN, AGES 1, 2, AND 3. I RECENTLY BECAME SINGLE WHEN MY HUSBAND DIED. HE WAS ON PUBLIC ASSISTANCE WITH NO PROBLEMS. I TOOK OVER HIS CASE AND HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS EVER SINCE. I BECAME HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD IN SEPTEMBER OF 2005. AT FIRST I WAS WORKING BUT HAD TO QUIT BECAUSE I HAD NO BABYSITTER FOR MY CHILDREN. I SUBMITTED ALL THE PAPERWORK THAT WAS NEEDED SHOWING I WAS NOT WORKING, HOWEVER THEY STILL HAD ME LISTED AS WORKING. I REQUESTED CHILDCARE FOR MY 3 CHILDREN HOWEVER THEY ONLY PUT MY 2 DAUGHTERS THROUGH AND NOT MY SON. NOW THEY WANT TO DISCONTINUE MY CHIILDCARE BENEFITS ALTOGETHER BECAUSE I AM NOT IN A WORK RELATED PROGRAM. HOW CAN I WORK IF I DON'T HAVE DAYCARE FOR MY SON TOO.. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME GET THROUGH TO THEM?

THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
