[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes people lie. Friend of ours is a single mom. She makes about 200K. Daughter has almost no contact with her father, but for FARMS purposes, daughter is listed as living with dad & surviving on his annual salary of $30k.

They are also Arlington residency cheaters. 
It's really not hard to do.[/quote]

You rehashed this thread for this? Report it or shut up. Stop bringing up dead threads to cause drama.

PS: For SNAP purposes, either parent can claim the child as long as the child resides with them at least one day a month. [/quote]

This whole "report it or shut up" perspective doesn't make much sense to me. If enforcement of the law is entirely dependent upon complaints from other citizens, that's basically advocating a system where standards will never be enforced on a widespread basis.  Imagine if law enforcement only responded to crime that was reported to them from other people and did no independent enforcement of the law on their own.  Sure, I would encourage people to report those breaking the law, but I think you can also advocate for a system with more robust verification procedures for income eligibility than exists currently.  Of course, one isolated example like the PP posted is nothing more than anecdotal evidence of widespread fraud, but no reason they shouldn't share it unless they also report it. [/quote]
