In my state which ranks at the bottom, you would receive $236 a month. Which in NO way covers the expense of the child.. which is why I wonder how anyone could just be in it "for the money".

Don't have Philly rate but, for comparison, I'm in NJ and I get $746.79/month (which includes a $60 clothing allowance) + $573.30/month daycare stipend for a child whose 3 yrs old. And, trust me...I pay plenty out of pocket too!

I live in Philly but go through another county, rate is between $17-22 and if needed (Almost always needed) a clothing stipend of $200-400. it may be more for medical or disabled children, not sure.
