I could understand if she were in a tough position and couldn't find a job. But she could go to school for free with that income. But she said no, she doesn't want to work that much plus when her grandmother dies she will get $50000. I guess she's planning to live on that for the rest of her life and live in her mothers home when she dies!
She probably couldn't. Here, you have to be working to receive food stamps unless you have a very young child, and post-secondary education doesn't count towards the work requirements. So people stay in the dead end minimum wage jobs and on food stamps/medicaid for years because they can't afford to lose those benefits even if the Pell grant will cover the actual costs of going to school.
