Welfare Fraud is fraud against the programs of the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), including unlawful practices in obtaining cash assistance, medical assistance, and/or food assistance.
In fiscal 2014, which ended in June, the state spent around $13 billion on public assistance programs, including MassHealth. A report by Bump's office identified $9.5 million in welfare fraud, stemming from 824 cases, or less than 1 percent of total spending. More than $5 million of the fraud was in MassHealth, the state's Medicaid program. More than $2 million was in food stamps, officially called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The rest came from other programs, generally cash aid.
