No real surprise there.

So sad because abuse of the system makes those who really need it "criminals" in the eyes of many ignorant and hateful people...

Welfare fraud is not as common as people want to believe...but when it happens, everyone gets the same blame...

Shame on those who "steal" from the needy...and also those of us who pay for them with our taxes....

This is criminal and undermines a safety net for the truly needy. That said the amounts were, for the most part, a few thousand dollars with a couple $10,000 or more. When trumps taxes are released I think we'll see fraud abuse in the millions. Will anything happen to a sitting or past President or will we let him get away with it?

My wife worked for social services for 26 yrs , offenders usually were made to pay back what they stole with no further punishment . And the majority of recipients were not black as many in N Carolina think .

No surprise there. All white.

Republicans demonize black women.

Wow. A whopping 3 of them broke 5 digits, with only 1 of those going over 20 grand. More than 1 was under 2 grand.

There's so much wrong with this I don't even know where to start.
