St. Lawrence County investigators have obtained judicial settlement of $20,658 in September as the result of welfare fraud investigations.

In addition, sanctions have been placed on individuals to prevent them from receiving further benefits from the programs they defrauded.

The programs affected by the reported fraud include SNAP (Food Stamps), Temporary Assistance, Day Care, Medicaid, and HEAP.

Investigations are ongoing and arrests are pending, according to a press release from Department Of Social Services Sr. Investigator Elizabeth Thomas and District Attorney’s Office Investigator Edward Tischler.
