Octuplets' Mother Receives Public Assistance

Octuplets' mother receives public assistance



Nadya Suleman, the woman who gave birth to octuplets last month, is receiving $490 a month in food stamps, and three of her first six children are disabled and receiving federal assistance, her publicist confirmed to The Times.

Publicist Michael Furtney confirmed the information after two sources told The Times that Suleman was receiving food stamps and federal supplemental security income.

Suleman had told NBC News correspondent Ann Curry in an interview that she was not receiving welfare. Furtney said Suleman didn't consider the food stamps and SSI to be welfare.

“In Nadya’s view, the money that she gets from the food stamp program ... and the resources disabilities payments she gets for her three children are not welfare," he said. "They are part of programs designed to help people with need, and she does not see that as welfare."

Furtney declined to say what kinds of disabilities the three children have. Nadya Suleman told NBC that she was struggling financially to support her six children before the birth of her octuplets, but that she knows she will be able to support them, especially after she earns her master’s degree in counseling.

Nadya Suleman, who gave birth to octuplets last month, is getting public assistance.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the 33-year-old Whittier, Calif., resident will receive $490 a month in food stamps. Three of her first six children are also disabled and receiving federal assistance. (Her publicist Michael Furtney declined to reveal the children's disabilities.)


Suleman recently told the Today show's Ann Curry that she was not on welfare. (Suleman and Furtney didn't consider the food stamps and SSI to be welfare, according to the Times.)


"In Nadyas view, the money that she gets from the food stamp program ... and the resources disabilities payments she gets for her three children are not welfare," he said. "They are part of programs designed to help people with need, and she does not see that as welfare."

What a dilemma this must be for the DUmmies.  They hate babies, but they love government support for whatever it is one wants, whether one can pay for it or not.

This woman has a publicist?  I guess hitching your wagon to a human freak show is probably the best free publicity you're going to get today... it's not like she has a job to pay the man any money.

I'm sure he took his cut off the top of the (reported) $300K she got for the Anne Curry interview.

I've said this a time before about this lady. She is unstable and the BEST thing they could do for those 14 children is to adopt them out. I can't believe this travesty continues and her pockets get lined and there is no outrage to have her investigated. This woman has mental health issues that we will probably pay for in the tens of millions of dollars down the line with a brood like that and no other stability to help them overcome the challenges they will undoubtedly face at this woman's hands.

The doctor who impregnated her should be brought up on charges and have his license revoked. He is just as guilty as she is.

Unbelievable!

What kind of doctor does not see thru this shit?

For cryin' out loud! My doc would have kicked her ass if she asked for more children!

He's a regular prick when it comes to me wanting something he knows would be detrimental to my health!

I fight with the guy all the time just to keep red meat in my diet!!! What the hell was this guy thinking? I see a publicity hound! This MF wants to be famous at the expense of the children!

GET A ROPE!

No, who is Anne Curry?

The woman got paid $300,000 for an interview and she's still collecting a check from the government?  Is this in California?

Anne Curry is on the Today Show, but she did the interview for Dateline. I had it on for a while last night...after 5 minutes I had to turn it off. Made me sick and angry. Those poor, pitiful children. God help them.

The bitch has SEVERE mental issues. First off, she wanted to have a big family to combat "loneliness".... the kicker, the guy who knocked her up wanted to MARRY her, and she turned him down. Probably because she wouldn't qualify for welfare in that case.

Instead of sucking on the government teat for assistance to feed and diaper her 8 new babies (and 6 old ones), I would have gladly offered this nutjob a dollar for a rubber.      :banghead:

And she is working on her masters in psychology...the irony.

I tivo'd the Dateline special and watched it last night.  She certainly had psychological issues.  A viewer pointed out, effectively, how she tries to emulate Angelina Jolie.  She denied it of course.

In the "old days" large families were commonplace...but that's when the sons worked the fields and the women worked at home.  This woman is just milking the system. 
The sad part of this whole thing is that those children have a high probability of having cerebral palsy.  Her "doctor" should have his license revoked.

This brings up the question of his responsibilty since she knows who the father is and this wasn't exactly a donor situation.
