It is a crime, it is welfare fraud.... you are not supposed to be drawing a cash benefit for welfare if a father/male is in the household who is able to work.
In this case, the women would have been lying to welfare caseworkers...giving false information on the application. Also, I would fault the caseworkers for not realizing the address or looking into the situation where so many women were drawing benefits yet there were men there.
I personally haven't been on any type of assistance for over 4 years now...however... our State is strict with this stuff. I was drawing food stamps only as I worked full time but still had difficulty making ends meet back in 03. I had a caseworker actually visit my home to do a house/situation assessment. I am not sure how often these are made, but it was an interesting interview. She came from the State and ended up coming to my work... I didn't have anything to hide and of course I was legit and everything went smoothly.... that was food stamps only.. so I can't imagine if I had been drawing a cash benefit.
It is states that need to reform their welfare program...
