It seems like the Octomom has gotten her tentacles back on welfare checks.

Five months after Nadya Suleman weaned herself off welfare, the mother of the world’s most famous octuplets (and six other children) has filed again for government aid, sources told TMZ.

Suleman, who filed for bankruptcy last May, signed up for welfare this week and will be getting $2,800 a month in assistance, according to the gossip site.

The 37-year-old mother had scratched together a semi-steady paycheck doing striptease and filming a solo masturbation porn video, which was released last year.

“I’d be lying if I didn’t say generating revenue wasn’t a major reason why I did it, but I found the experience was empowering and liberating,” Suleman told the Huffington Post in June.

The family’s cookie jar money, however, was quickly depleted in October after Suleman entered herself into rehab at the Chapman Treatment Center for “anxiety, exhaustion and stress.”

“She was prescribed Xanax for her anxiety attacks. She was not addicted to it. She has an overabundance of stress and exhaustion and wanted to deal with it without prescription drugs,” her manager, Gina Rodriguez, told the Daily News at the time.
