Would you ever go on food stamps or some other related form of government assitance if you fell on hard times?

In Jeannette Walls’ memoir The Glass Castle, her extremely poor family refused to ever make themselves a “charity case,” as they claimed would happen upon using government assistance.
What makes people decide it is appropriate for them to use such forms of assistance? Does it have to do with pride? Laziness?
