Our welfare rolls in Virginia are far lower ~ in fact, all your state welfare people have to do to remove the cheats is run "Move Update" against their mailing/address lists for recipients. Federal laws existing since the days of Franklin Roosevelt provide that if a welfare recipient has a change of address on file they get cut off until they are re-examined by a welfare case worker.
Clue ~ welfare cheats ALWAYS have a change of address on file with the post office. It helps them cheat!
I don't believe Ohio has done this yet although everybody else did it first in 1997.
Then I guess the great increase nationwide of people receiving government assistance must have been mostly people in Ohio.
hey, time flies, 1997 was long time ago. The beaucracies are promoting and encouraging people getting government assistance.
