This is true, it is necessary to make sure not to apply for something for which you don't qualify, and to be careful to avoid any misrepresentation in anyapplication.    I was meaning to say more don't let people shame you for using things for which you legitimately ARE eligible.

Thank you for your kind words. I am pretty certain I am eligible for those programs. Also, I received a response regarding my citizenship that my current status is "oath ceremony" which will take place within a month.

I don't for sure know the answer, but I wouldn't think it would be likely that anyone would bother pursuing your husband because you received assistance in the 30 days before your citizenship was final. 

 

Mostly I just wanted to put in a vote of moral support that you should feel comfortable getting assistance if your family needs it.  Your husband is a citizen (I am assuming) and your child will be, so anything that helps to keep you healthy will be benefiting them, and you are becoming a citizen, so  your being supported now will help you to be a more productive citizen in the future for years to come.  And as you said, it is temporary.

 

Good luck!

I so much appreciate your kind words! Thank you for understanding.

When arriving to this country years ago, I never in million years thought I would be in a position I am in now. Hoping for better times and that this help is not needed much longer.
