Investigators from the St. Lawrence County Department of Social Services and the District Attorney’s Office report that their investigations resulted in $31,609 in judicial settlements in January against people accused of defrauding DSS, and sanctioned individuals preventing them from receiving further benefits from the programs they defrauded.
These investigations focused on welfare fraud, offering a false instrument for filing, unlawful use of a benefit card, forgery and other violations of the New York State penal law.
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 investigators.
