Counties receive funds to combat welfare fraud in Ohio
The Ohio Department of Human Services gave each of Ohio’s 88 counties 2500 to publicize anti fraud campaigns. It will also provide public service videos and materials to warn welfare recipients that fraud will be prosecuted. Fraud includes misreported residency, food stamp trafficking, unreported income, and cash work. Ohio savings from fraud investigations exceed 82 million since 1991 with 15 million in overpayments collected in four years. Electronic food stamp cards reduce fraud and expand to all counties by year end.
