WELFARE FRAUD (WIC) 10980 and its RELATED OFFENSES Welfare Fraud is a serious offense that is on the rise in California. Because this offense is being investigated more diligently pursuant to California's Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) Section 10980, prosecutors typically pursue several other related offenses. 875413_balance.jpg If you are being investigated or have been charged with Welfare Fraud, then you are most likely facing one or more of the following related offenses: perjury, conspiracy, forgery, and/or grand theft. The penalties and punishment are severe for any and all of these charges; therefore, you need an experienced San Diego Criminal Attorney representing your interests. At Gedulin & Greany, we will provide you with expert legal advice and the best options to guide you through this very difficult time. WHAT IS WELFARE FRAUD Under CA law, the definition of Welfare Fraud is: when you "willfully or knowingly, with the intent to deceive, make a false statement or representation or knowingly disclose a material fact to obtain aid" to which you are not entitled. Recipient Fraud and Internal Fraud are the two types of Welfare Fraud you can be charged with. Recipient Fraud (the more common Welfare Fraud charge) is receiving benefits to which you are not entitled, based upon false or inaccurate information. Internal Fraud is when an official or employee assigns or distributes benefits to people who are not eligible. WHAT ARE THE RELATED OFFENSES Welfare Fraud, like any fraud allegations, involves facts that often lead to other related charges, including: Perjury (California Penal Code (PC) 118), Conspiracy (PC 182), Forgery (PC 470), and/or Grand Theft (PC 487).
