Octomom on welfare: Cash, benefits help Nadya Suleman

Octomom is back on welfare. Nadya Suleman has gone back to receiving government assistance according to TMZ. On Jan. 6, the popular gossip site reported that Suleman will be making quite a bit of money off of your tax dollars. The money will be used to help support her and her 14 children.

"[Octo will be] getting $1,800 a month for food, $1,000 for emergency cash, as well as Medi-Cal benefits to help with mental health and dental issues... Octomom only plans to use the welfare money while she gets back on her feet," TMZ reports. Despite Suleman's porn deals and her websites designed to bring in some extra dough, Uncle Sam is once again her main source of income.

Octomom will be on welfare until she can earn enough money to pay her bills. She has tried various things but the money that she has received has not lasted very long. She did move her family in to a new home and while things seemed to be going better for her, that evidently wasn't the case.

According to the report, Nadya Suleman's stay in rehab back in October ate up most of the money that she was able to put away. No matter what she spent her money on, the government is now responsible for her income -- again.
