Recently, law enforcement and the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office have made Welfare Fraud a priority.  Usually, the investigation by law enforcement targets recipients of welfare benefits.  At times, the investigations target employees within the welfare system for allegedly facilitating fraud for other individuals.  Welfare fraud is broad and carries a potential variety of penalties, some that are extremely sever.  Typical criminal cases of welfare fraud occur when a beneficiary fails to correctly declare income, assets, and whether the child for whom benefits are derived is still in the home.

Likewise, personnel that are working in the welfare system are prosecuted is they engage in certain activities that assist others in committing welfare fraud.  A conviction for welfare fraud can be punished by a fine, jail sentence, or a state prison term.
