Does taking government subsidies such as Section 8 and Food Stamps in a situation where the government subsidy is specifically providing money for food per child (Food Stamps) or money for an extra room per child (Sec 8) affect in any way the status of the halachos that take into account "soimech al shulchan aviv" (chanukah lights, Eiruvi chatzeiros)? Does the fact that the government/tzibbur is paying for the child's food,rent and sometimes even tuition give the child the status of "eino soimech al shulchan aviv"?

1the reason of the dinim of somech al shulchan aviv is if I remember mishum eiva. It is still relevant today despite the help of government.– koutyNov 6, 2016 at 20:45

@kouty. We're probably talking about different things. The Halacha by Eiruv chatzeiros and other dinin is not dependent on eivah as far as I remember.– Mark A.Nov 7, 2016 at 0:57
