The willimantic ct dss has severely wronged me. I processed all my documents by day thirty for cash assistance because I am unable to work and homeless now. I was told last week from the dss central phone number I had pending $55.00 a month and $75.00 to be available at 7am but that was a complete lie cause there is nothing available on my card. So there is fraud on the United States by the employees for the government. I am single and I am suppose to be getting $192.00 a month and back pay. I done enough solid research that I qualify for cash assistance but tax payers that work for the government commit crimes and not help the fallen people. It’s always a long drawn out process to get help from DSS in ct period!!!
