Q: Legally responsible?
A school friend is staying with me (otherwise be homeless) and they are paying $50-$80 a week. They have applied for financial assistance and help finding a job. Now they want me to sign a paper stating how much rent is and how much electric and gas come out of what is being paid. I did this to be a friend! Can I be held accountable for any money that they paid? Can the State or County come after me?
A: Come after you for what? It sounds to me like a form meant to determine this individuals financial need.
