As a result of investigations by the St. Lawrence County Department of Social Services and the District Attorney’s Office, the county obtained in February judicial settlements of $17,853 and sanctioned people preventing them from receiving further benefits from the programs they defrauded.
Investigations are ongoing and arrests are pending.
These investigations focused on welfare fraud, offering a false instrument for filing, unlawful use of a benefit card, forgery and other state law violations.
The programs affected by the reported fraud include SNAP (Food Stamps), temporary assistance, day care, Medicaid, and HEAP.
