My daughter knows of a girl, 18, who claimed she made $50k in a 4 month period (she prob made like $6k) and NY state sent her a $6k check right away + like $800/wk thereafter. Are they even keeping up with these fraudsters at all?
Are they even keeping up...
The question is: are they even TRYING to find fraud. A friend works in a benefits fraud division of a certain state. The people on the front end are trained not to bother verifying that someone is eligible for whatever benefit. The people on the back end are told to close cases as there are too many of them. A blue state...what can you say?
