Myth: ”People collect welfare instead of work, and they get rich. They all have iPhones, drive new cars, have widescreen tv’s, etc. I work and I can’t afford any of that!” Fact: Since welfare payments vary by state and by the size of the family, it’s hard to provide all the pertinent numbers here, but here are some ranges: • A family of four can expect up to $500 a month in food stamp benefits. A single person can expect an average of $200 a month. • The average monthly allowance under TANF/AFDC is $900 for a family of four. For a single person the average is about $300.
