On the Dole

A term describing one who relies on welfare or other forms of support from the state. Being on the dole may mean one receives food stamps, direct cash payments or, in rare cases, it may refer to government-sponsored medical care. The term is more common in British and Commonwealth countries than in the United States, and its use may be derogatory, depending on the context.
