Welfare Fraud Avoidance & Your Protection
Protect yourself from welfare fraud and loss of your entitlements. Take the steps to report welfare fraud quickly.Welfare Fraud - Avoid Victimization
Welfare fraud is typically viewed as actions taken by welfare benefit recipients to somehow pimp the system in order to trigger excessive and unjustified payment of entitlements to unqualified persons.
* Where Federal Government Perpetuates System Problems. However, bear in mind that the welfare fraud report and analysis in the mid 1990's showed that the federal government, through the legislative process, perpetuates the greatest welfare fraud abuse of all.
Consider that President Clinton's promise to "end welfare as we know it" contained so many waivers and loopholes and exceptions that enforcement of welfare fraud changes was virtually impossible. While perhaps not directly a welfare fraud case, Washington DC along with several states stands out because of the 10 year exception where current welfare recipients are exempted for ten years.
* The Case Of California. California welfare fraud concerns are legion, as the state contends with an immigrant population group seeking a range of state and federal welfare benefits, and where significant numbers of applicants are alleged to be illegal aliens.
Welfare fraud reporting in California , as well as in Ohio and Texas , shows instances where identity theft has occurred. In the case of identity theft, either a living or dead person's personal data (social security number, date of birth, state drivers license) is submitted in order to commence the welfare fraud.
* Total Fraud Numbers Down... But Pork-Barrel Politcs As Usual. Welfare fraud statistics show an overall downward trend in absolute numbers, even while the US population shows a trend of population increase due to immigration and a positive birth rate. According to welfare fraud statistics most work fare programs have been a hopeless boondoggle, more reflective of pork barrel politics than any true commitment to help the economically disadvantaged dig out of their predicament.
* Same Fraud... Different Entitlement Program. Welfare fraud continues despite able minded effort by state and federal agencies to counter illegal behavior.
Welfare fraud can occur, even where a cash benefit is denied to recipients who, in turn, change over to food stamps, public housing, supplemental social security income, free school lunch programs, and/or other entitlement programs.
Federal welfare fraud is implicit in the numerous exemptions, such as the waiver from work requirement for mothers with children under age 6, which of course constitutes a rather meaningful percentage of the welfare recipient population.
* Civil And Criminal Penalties. Welfare fraud is illegal and persons willfully engaging in efforts to carry out such fraud will be subject to civil and possibly criminal penalties.
