If people get thrown off Welfare for fraud, do they have to pay it back?

Vernon, NJ Viewed 21 times. Posted 21 days ago in Fraud

I know a couple of "Grifters". They recently won a "Bogus" settlement against a fast food restaurant, because the franchise didn't want bad publicity. Now they bought a house, 2 expensive new vehicles,an RV,etc.. It's sickening that they profit off their lies and deceit. Who can I pass this info on to ? As a taxpayer, I resent them exploiting the Welfare System.
Thanks!

I would contact the local welfare office and ask for their fraud hot line number. You can probably file an anonymous report of fraud. If they were investigated, charged and convicted, they could be ordered to pay criminal restitution. In addition, the State can pursue them for civil penalties for fraud.
