Florida welfare fraudsters beware. A bipartisan legislative effort designed to clobber public assistance abuse may soon send welfare perps to prison for a long time.
Ripping off Medicaid, food stamps or taxpayer-funded cash assistance programs for more than $100,000 could mean 30 years in prison, the sentencing equivalent of seriously hurting a law officer.
Wrongfully receiving or seeking public assistance in the amount of $20,000 could carry a penalty of up to 15 years in prison.

ReplyDeleteThat cannot be done because of the sheer number of violators.Now and then an example will be made of a violator,but the courts are not designed to hand out dispositions by the millions,and the prisons are crammed to the hilt already.In the end this action will result in a slap on the wrist - as always.
