Welfare Fraud Allegations
Welfare fraud takes place when you receive welfare benefits that you are not actually eligible for, including medical or food assistance. You can be charged with welfare fraud if you have failed to report income, assets or child support. Using a false identification to gather welfare benefits, applying for the benefits under multiple names and intentionally failing to report eligibility changes are also causes of welfare fraud. Penalties may include imprisonment, heavy fines, and denial of future benefits.
