I am lucky enough to have been able to avoid going on assistance, but I've noticed it really does stigmatize people to have to identify as being on assistance, like I follow the Retail Robin tumblr who typically take down classist memes, but when they slip through its usually someone complaining about someone with a WIC card buying lobster or beer or trying to argue that a "luxury" item should be covered.
