There are many more people out there receiving assistance of some sort - disability, housing, rental assistance, EBT, WIC, etc. that are falsifying applications. These women are not right for what they did but there are other people whose photos should be right next to theirs. Singling out these two women, whom I don't even know, get some of the others and post their pictures too. People working under the table, couples not marrying so they can say they are single with kids to get assistance. I have told county employees that I know people committing fraud but they don't seem to want the info. In fact one employee from OVR replied to me it's just learning how to work the system. Call me stupid or honest but I could not do what I was told so I just try to deal with it but it really angers me. I feel like I had to jump hoops to get assistance through EBT & for prescriptions - having little income and now no income. I have become disabled but was rejected for Disability - now need to appeal (lawyer $$$) and wait a year for a hearing - in the meantime I am expected to survive on $200 a month for food. There is a lot of cases where people have applied and might have needed assistance at the time, but when your situation changes it is you responsibility to inform the proper people providing the benefits that the situation has changed. There needs to be a better system in place for the honest people that need help while others are getting all the money for assistance.

It's about time they start cracking down. I think that every case should be reinvestigated. I see so much abuse of the system. The selling of food stamps for cash or drugs. The other day I saw two able bodied men with gold chains, bracelets and gold watches and what appeared to be the latest I phones at the grocery store with two carts full of food. They both purchesed 4 cartons of cigarettes with cash and then pulled out acess cards for the food. Outraged by this sight I could do nothing but shake my head. To top it off as I was loading my groceries into my old 2007 car. They were packing theirs into a brand new large SUV. I've worked my hole life. At most times at least two jobs. I educated myself so I could earn a good living. I've never been unemployeed even if I had to accept lower paying jobs. Nothing was handed to me. These programs were created with the best of intentions for those in dire need not higher greed. To those of you who know your abusing the system. GET OFF OUR BACKS! TURN OFF THE TV AND GET A JOB! PUT DOWN THE CRACK PIPE AND GET A JOB! STOP MAKING BABIES YOU CANT AFFORD AND GET A JOB! I want to cloth, educate, feed and provide healthcare for my children not yours. We have done enough. The tax payors have given you money, foodstamps, affordable housing, free education and a better healthcare plan than I have. We have subsidized your daycare, utilities & transportation. We have waited for you to step up and provide for yourselves and contribute to society.

They need to put a time limit on all types of public assistance. There is no way people should be on public assistance for 10+ years and still claim they can't find a job to earn money. Also, they need to cut out the extra money they get when they have another child. The public assistance system is a joke and the majority of people on it should not be. They are just to lazy to actually earn a paycheck like the rest of us do. If we cut the healthty people off after a few years, we would have plenty of money for the people who actually need it..

How about we STOP giving Access cards to Mexicans? A week ago we had family fly in and I had to stop at Giant Eagle for some last minute stuff. The five older women in front of me at the checkout line were causing a slowdown because none of the employees spoke Spanish. They didn't like that they had to pay $6-12 dollars of their $300+ orders. Then the real kicker was in the parking lot! Their car was two spots away from me - A brand new BMW with Mexican plates!
