Interesting that so many assume I have not reported these people. I don't expect anything to be done because DHS has to justify the funds they receive each year.

I know someone who smokes marijuana and yet she drives on public roads that MY TAXES pay for.

She also goes to the library.

Someone should put a stop to that.

Yes, you condone cheating if you do nothing.

There aren't enough case workers to micro-manage the system.

You're saying that this is a-ok in your book.
Or is it that you have no proof therefore nothing to base your allegations on?

Gee, I wonder what the answer is.
the workers and their bosses and their bosses bosses already know and have known for a long time. its the emporers new clothes in spades.
its-- dont look dont tell. do you know what the rejection rate of the DA fraud referral is in the county??? the one workers are required to make, mandated referrals? 100%!!!!. as you move up the food chain in the system from case worker to social worker to social worker supervisor to manager, it gets much much worse.

I guess this means that your mode of thinking is that all people on welfare are drug addicts. Ok, gotcha. How....ridiculous.

You have a good point. The difference maybe being how hard the wealthy cheaters work to cheat? LOL!

I only know of two people on welfare, and both are frauds. I have reported them numerous times over the past 3 years I've known them, and nothing has happened.

One is working under the table for cash ($15-25 an hour as a sous chef) and the other lives with her rather wealthy parents who provide everything for her (including shelter/food/a car/etc.) but she claims zero income and gets benefits.
