Those who pass are assigned a certification in ­ te rv ie w , to take place anyw here fro m several hours to several days la te r. P ro o f o f incom e, rent re ­ ceipts, u tility b ills were to be brought in for the certification ses­ sion. For those tow ard the end o f the line fo r the o ne-on -on e interview , this second step in the process lasted close to two hours. One worker han­ dled ap p ro xim ately 25 applicants, going through their individual prob­ t lems, while two other people behind the counter appeared to do nothing at all. One woman sat at a desk and lingered over the m o rn in g p ap er, drinking several cups o f a hot bever­ age. A n o th e r re ferred occasional walk-ins to the right department or form to fill out. She had plenty o f time to disappear several times and return with cups of coffee, and chat with others behind the counter. A t one point she began collating form s. W hen she was asked w hat they w ere, she rep lied that they made up an Aid to Dependent C h il­ dren (W e lfa re ) application packet. There were 16 distinct forms and in­ struction sheets, some with multiple copies. By 9:35 those in line were showing signs o f unrest. ’ ’They sure run you arou n d h e re ,” said one w om an. •’ Yeah,” said another, “ it’ s not like this at other offices. W hatever it is here, they run you through all these gam es.” “ W h a t are you going to d o? " asked the first woman. "Y o u could g o ,” she said. " Y e a h , ” re ­ p lied the second w o m a n , " t h a t 's just what they want you to do. But where else is there to go?" There was an ongoing com m en­ tary on the P A system: "S ecu rity— you are notified that a tow truck has been called to the parking area. Se­ cu rity— proceed to the parking are for cover.” M e a n w h ile , a N a tiv e A m erican woman and her daughter had made it to the window . "S p o tte d Bear?" asked the food stamp w orker? " Is that your fu ll last name?” " Y e s ,” said the woman. "A n d you recently came here fro m M o n ta n a ? " asked the w o rk e r. " Y e s , ” re p lied the woman. " W e ll, w e'll have to make a collect call to M o n ta n a , you kn o w , to v e rify this. Y o u 'v e been here tw o m o n th s ? ” she asked.

The case­ worker went over and over this, try­ ing to figure out who was getting in­ com e, w ho was c o n trib u tin g to household expenses, and who was c o o kin g and eatin g to g e th e r. It turns out th at the Social Security was the only incom e fo r the entire household.
