St. Lawrence County recovered $7,976 from welfare fraud settlements in June and sanctioned 10 alleged fraudsters from receiving further benefits, according to Ed Tischler, St. Lawrence County District Attorney’s Office investigator.
He said investigations focused on programs including SNAP (food stamps), Temporary Assistance, Day Care, Medicaid and HEAP.
Investigators considered charges in their probes that included welfare fraud, offering a false instrument for filing, unlawful use of a benefit card, forgery and other state law violations.
