Thanks! So it looks like there's a limit but at least someone thinks it's a bad idea and some states are changing it...

According to this, the asset limit to qualify for Ontario Works (welfare) is $572 for a single adult and $1,550 for a lone parent. So, worse than is the US... (But it was $2500 for a single adult in 1981...) The 50% earning exemption is new from 2003 though.

Wow I have learned things today!
