Aslam Khawaja, 48, of Iranistan Avenue, the owner of the SK Grocery at 856 Fairfield Ave., was charged Wednesday with first-degree larceny by defrauding a public community, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
From March through December 2013 Khawaja paid cash to 128 of his customers who are on the state's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for their SNAP benefits at 50 cents to a dollar of benefit, the arrest affidavit states.

I have heard through a co-worker that people sell their welfare money all the time for cash, if they can afford to do that then they are receiving more cash advance, and money on their EBT than they should be receiving.I wish they would abolish welfare.
