It's about 1 year I spent in USA ,I found out new environment with different races of people,different kinds of jobs especially market products and food restaurants and tremendous parks ,I m talking here about Florida state ,while every place should be as a direction for tourists .

Meanwhile,I hear a lot about immigrants benefits(food stamp,immigrant benefits...) and their rules which differ from state to another.

My questions is what kind of benefits that a permanent resident can get while it's permanent residency ? and what's the easy legal way to get that benefits in Florida state?

No benefits, only if you are illegal you are allowed to get 'em. Otherwise, the sponsor should provide for you, or else ...

and what's the easy legal way to get that benefits in Florida state?

The easy legal way to get benefits in any state is to get a good job. All of the benefits that I had while I was a permanent resident like health care insurance, 401k matching, gym membership, free dinners, free lunches on Fridays, free schooling, free hotel accomodation and free flight tickets to conferences were provided to me by my job.

What kind of jobs are you qualified for?

What kind of benefits do you need?

Benefits aren't just handed out to everyone, they are based on your personal situation. If you are having an issue (medical or whatever) and cannot find a way to pay for it, nor can your wife/ sponsor, tell us more about it and we will try to help.

People usually only get benefits, like social security, if they've worked and paid taxes for 10 years, to earn them.

That's the legal way to get them.

You need to post the same question twice??

Can you explain more how People get benefits, like social security, if they've worked and paid taxes for 10 years?

They go to their local DHS office (Department of Human Services- each country has at least one), fill out the paperwork, and apply,

About the only benefits a permanent resident could qualify for that I can think of off the top of my head are unemployment (you don't qualify until you've worked for a certain amount of time, it's an insurance program you pay into while you work), financial aid at a university or college, and WIC (a supplemental food program for pregnant women and young children which is different from food stamps).

You need a total paradigm shift, you are now in the land of oppurtunity where anything is possible for anyone willing to work for it. Residency and birth do not offer benefits.
