I know I may receive some judgment because I am asking about public assistance, because I get the stigma that comes with that, but I am a single mother of two children that is struggling and need the advice of those who have been in my shoes or knows something about a situation like this.
I started camming about 6 months ago, shortly after my review hearing for public assistance. My previous IC gig (which was a phone sex company) had a very discreet name printed on the checks that I used as proof of income, and few questions were asked about my line of work. Since then they have only asked for a written statement with the amount made per month. But now it is time for review again, and although I am making considerably more than my last review, I am not making enough to disqualify me from the medical assistance, and have to reapply because I need it.
My worry is that when I submit my paystubs from SM as proof of income that caseworker will recognize/look up the company, since the name is boldly written in the top corner. She tried to look up my phone gig, but the company's payroll name isn't obviously connected to phone sex, and led nowhere. And when I did tell a previous caseworker about a potential phone gig before I even got hired on as and IC, she got really snarky. I don't really care if they know what I do or judge me personally. This is the first job I've ever had that might actually give me the change to get off of welfare, so I don't give two fucks what anyone personally thinks about my line of work. But I am afraid that personal judgment might not be the only judgment I receive, and that it might raise unnecessary red flags. Maybe even lead to an investigation simply because it is adult related, and I have kids living here, even though they know nothing about it, and are never home when I work on cam. Has anyone had an issue with this?
