Lying in any form about any information. If you are dishonest, or twist the truth, about income, dependents, resources, etc., you are committing welfare fraud. If you put any dishonest information on a form, tell someone in person, write a letter, or leave a message, you are committing welfare fraud. Also, if you receive any type of welfare and give any of that away to someone not 'in the family,' that is welfare fraud. For example, if you receive food assistance and your car breaks down - you cannot offer a friend $20 of free food that you buy them (with food assistance) for a ride to the store.
