In welfare fraud investigations for July, St. Lawrence County obtained judicial settlements of $41,722 and sanctioned some people to prevent them from receiving further benefits from the programs they defrauded.
More investigations are ongoing and further arrests are pending, investigators said.
Investigators from the St. Lawrence County Department of Social Services and the District Attorney’s Office, looking into several cases of reported fraud, focused on welfare fraud, offering a false instrument for filing, unlawful use of a benefit card, forgery and other violations of state penal law.
The programs affected by the reported fraud include SNAP (Food Stamps), temporary assistance, day care, Medicaid, and HEAP.
