St. Lawrence County recovered $42,483 from welfare fraud settlements in July and sanctioned 13 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.
