[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the Post: "Blaeuer said many of the families earlier lived in Maryland and fell behind on their mortgages after the Great Recession. They moved in with parents who have homes in the District, although they never signed formal leases. [b]Some rented their Maryland homes to friends and family, formally or informally[/b]."

And if you believe this, I've got a bridge in PG County to sell you.  This is a clear, after-the-fact attempt to obfuscate fraud.[/quote]

Apparently OSSE - DC AG's office - disagree with your conclusion. [/quote]

The propensity in DC not to dig too deeply into fraud, graft, grift and corruption would make even a few Third World countries blush.[/quote]

When folks live a lot of their lives hand-to-mouth and don't pay taxes, mortgage, and have others lie for them there is not much OSSE can do, they are not the court system. If they have been claiming benefits and other things in DC; however, fraudulently what can they do? Also, there is no time limit on residency not like at college, so they can claim residency as of now and can attend! The only ones who are gonna end up paying are the more honest ones and the ones with a legit job! [/quote]

Well, might as well give up. Seems like you and OSSE are on the same page about that. [/quote]

No but I once worked for DC human services, the same thing. Almost most welfare recipients were working or had a side-hustle but to prove it is almost impossible. Recipients know how it works and bring in doctored leases, pay slips, all kinds of stuff but proving it is another matter. Government workers are not the police, they have to accept what is given and if it passes the rules then you have to accept it. If grandma has a legal court document to say grandson is living with her and she is the guardian, whether you believe it or not you can't challenge a court document. It's not like they are just lying to the school system for the most part ... there is only so much you can do. [/quote]

Yes BUT one of the big problems is that guardianship under the residency rules does not require a court document at all.  Just a letter or statement from parents that the kid is staying elsewhere. It’s sworn to in the sense that the whole residency package is signed under penalty of perjury.  But the guardianship portion does not require court or other official documentation. [/quote]
