Considered any lie related to an individual's eligibility or need for welfare, welfare fraud can include false statements about any of the following:

• Income
• Marital status
• Need for financial assistance
• Living conditions

It is important to note that if individuals fail to give updated information regarding any of the facts, charges of welfare fraud can be filed. In addition, offering to repay any welfare assistance you received is not an adequate defense.
