Suspect the answers (and the feedback) you get here will depend on how ethical, moral, or legal other members feel your attempts to "work the system" are. There are some members here who wouldn't bat an eye at anything, including theft. As long as they benefit from it, all's right with their world because their world has a population of 1.
Is it unethical for a person to take a job as a preschool teacher when they are qualified to be an Accountant, instead? Even if it means that they can spend more time with their own children?
Is it unethical for an ER doc to stop working at the hospital and instead teach a few classes at the community college so that they don't have to work overnight shifts, on weekends and on the holidays while their kids are young?
I don't think so. Obviously, they could earn more money but they opt not to for quality of life issues.
An example of what I think falls into the unethical category: Trust fund baby lives in a mansion owned by the trust and takes a small income from said trust as "the gardener". Trust fund baby earns SS credits and qualifies for low income health insurance rates via ACA.

Income caps were removed from ACA policies for several years now and that will stay in place until the end of 2025. Just about everyone gets credit until the caps come back.
If you know the rules, you can better play the game. Same thing applies to taxes. You are only obligated to pay as much as you owe.
If you are working the system legally, having found benefits that you can qualify for, then good for you. If you are lying, cheating, and deceiving in order to get benefits that you have no right to, someone will call you out for it.
Example, if you really need a service dog, then fine. If you don't need a service dog and buy "papers" on the internet to get special privileges for your pet, then some one will say something about it.
If you honestly qualify for food stamps, then that's perhaps something you should get for yourself. if you lie about your income and circumstances in order to get food stamps, its not going to be all that acceptable here.
If you find a tax loophole that you qualify for, then take it. Just don't falsify documents to take a deduction that isn't legal for you to take.
Does that help?
