Welfare Fraud...




On Friday, the Office of the Inspector General filed charges against 66 individuals with welfare fraud with at least 3 being from Schuylkill County.

 According to OIG the restitution owed the commonwealth in these cases totals $206,651.38. Additional cost savings will be realized as the defendants will be temporarily disqualified from receiving public benefits in the programs they defrauded.

 If convicted, the maximum penalty they face ranges from 2 years in prison and a fine of $5,000 up to seven years in prison and a fine of $15,000, plus a mandatory disqualification period from the benefits program they defrauded.
