[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is that people DO lie about how many are in the household. Of course, it is better to overlook this than to deprive the needy, but do not be deceived. There are many who take advantage of the system. I taught two kids who lived with their grandma. I assume the grandmas were getting aid for the kids. Both were on free lunch--not reduced. During the school year, each child took a trip to two distant cities to visit their moms. Why? So she could collect welfare for them in that city. (The kids themselves told me this.)[/quote] How do you know grandma was getting aid? The way cash assistance works, if they were majority with grandma, she is entitled to get the TANF. If mom was also getting it, that is mom committing fraud. However, mom could have been getting the SNAP benefits. They only have to be there part time for the SNAP. There is nothing illegal about that scenario. [/quote]
