@[email protected] I knew someone who was on social services, a single mom with one kid whose ex had abandoned them. I don't think she ever lied on any of those forms, but I could understand the temptation. If she had $50 left at the end of the month she had to spend it before she filled out the paperwork. If you reported that $50 they took $50 off of food stamps, and $50 off the rental assistance, and $50 off the heating assistance, and she and the kid would go hungry to the tune of a hundred bucks the next month!
