Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced charges against a former Northumberland County Assistance Office caseworker for fraudulently obtaining EBT cards and using them to make more than $8,600 in purchases.
According to Skook News, 40 year old Jennifer L. Curcie, of Coal Township, was employed as a caseworker at the Northumberland County Assistance Office from 2015-2018.
She reportedly used the cards to make purchases in excess of $8,600 at several stores. Curcie was terminated from her position in August 2018.
The defendant turned herself in Thursday, was arraigned, and waived her preliminary hearing. Deputy Attorney General Philip McCarthy will prosecute the case.
