Sadly, most government assistance programs are designed to keep you on them continually without a means of getting back off of them. People HAVE managed to, but you will have to do some research and see how they managed it. I've fought pretty hard to keep off of them myself, but I have to admit, it hasn't been easy.
I do not think that is my issue. It's more that if I come off of them, I do not have a means to provide for my family. I do not have the skills to make enough money to provide for my family because of all that we would have to then pay for.
I would have a minimum wage job, which is not enough to cover the expenses of the household once I lose the government help.
