is this a form of medicaid abuse?

How do people still sell food stamps if the states are issuing them as EBT cards?

A girl at work would give her daughter half the dollar value, and she had the pin number to the card....that's how they got away with it using EBT system. Makes me mad, because her daughter drives a new SUV, which is in mama's name, high fallutin cell phone with all the bells and whistles in mama's name. She was turned in, and basically the coworker who tried to turn them in said that if there wasn't anything in her name, then not much could be done about. Honked me off in the biggest way

the mother is also guilty, if she were to be caught, that would be sweet, very sweet....

Like everyone else is saying....turn her in!! Not just for us working stiffs...but for the people that actually follow the rules and need help-whom which she is ALSO stealing from. Although she did not have to pay to have her tubes tied, I can not imagine Medicaid would pay to get them untied...not with as many children she has and as much assistance as she is already getting. When I was younger and working in a physicians office I had a patient on Medi-Cal (California Medicaid) that drove a 40,000 truck and owned a 250,000 house...I still regret not turning him in...don't make the same mistake I did.

Often times the people who are driving expensive cars while living on public assistance have, excuse the politically incorrect term, a sugar daddy paying for it. Basically, they poor mouth their way into all the assistance they can receive by claiming they are single, and the other half spends whatever income (usually from drugs) on expensive cars, large screen TVs, etc. It's pretty pathetic. It also means bye-bye Escalade when sugar daddy leaves, and they always leave.

So yes, report her. If she is involved in drugs and it's questionable if her kids are being fed adequately if she is selling the food stamps, then it would be best for the kids for an investigation to happen.

The type of person who gives those who truly need medicaid as a bridge to a better life a bad rep.

Ugh. I don't think I want to be breathing the same oxygen as this leech.
