Should i report someone for welfare fraud?

11 Comments

For months now, I've been debating whether or not to report someone I know for welfare fraud. She gets all kinds of assistance (cash, rent, food, heat, medical) and months ago had moved a boyfriend in who has a full-time job and she isn't reporting his presence in the household or his income. There's no kids involved.

Have you ever reported anyone for this? I'm looking for insightful answers, not simple "do the right thing" bullshit.

Report. 35
Don't report. 11

    Report. If shes able to work and doesnt have any real disabilities, then maybe she needs that wake up call.

    I don't my taxes going towards people who have genuine reasons to be on welfare.

    Ask her why is she still on welfare if she is in a situation where she doesn't need to be on it.

    I'd stay out of it. You don't really know the details of her situation.

    I wouldn't bother with it without knowing all of the details of the situation. I generally try to give people the benefit of the doubt in said situation.

    In the US a lot of deadbeats do that. The government will pay you to not work and more if you can pop out some kids

    So many people are doing the same thing. Reporting one of them will do little good. If you want to do it, make sure you know that is what is going on.

    Maybe she just hasn't got round to it yet.
