I visited one particular Social Welfare office one day and saw a scattered bunch of people falling in line, filling up forms, and talking to the welfare counselors about the possibility of getting income support from the government. Although most of them are capable of living without monetary aid from the government, you could see that they are bent on getting the applications. Most of them don't even understand entire provisions of getting a welfare aid. One lone woman with a toddler and an infant actually asked me what CTC is all about.
