Can someone provide sufficient information about the welfare system, how one joins up, conditions, any contracts that have to be signed, what they require from people on welfare, etc.  so we can seek an official fatwaa from the lajnah about Muslims in America receiving welfare, is it permissible, if so, under what circumstances and are there conditions, etc...?

May Allaah reward you.

The welfare system, which is run through the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), varies from State to State depending on the assistance sought.  

Here are some websites that might help you out, in sha' Allah.

http://www.cms.hhs.gov/medicaid/eligibility/criteria.asp - Medicaid eligibility
http://www.fns.usda.gov/fsp/applicant_recipients/fs_Res_Ben_Elig.htm - Food Stamp eligibility
http://www.spdp.org/tanf/financial/finansumm.htm - Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
http://www.libertynet.org/nol/pccywelf.html - PA TANF Info
http://www.dss.state.va.us/benefit/index.html - VA Social Services
http://www.spdp.org/compstates/newyork.htm - NY TANF Info

Jazak Allahu Khyran wa Barak Allahu Feek for the help you have given the Salafiyyoon.

Yaa Moosaa, have you heard any kalam from the 'Ulamaa regarding the issue of receiving welfare benefits in America?  If so, the question about "section 8" in the -General Discussion Forum- may fall into this category waAllaahu 'alam.
