Octomom Welfare Fraud: Nadya Suleman Under Investigation

Did Octomom, Nadya Suleman, try to trick the Welfare system? According to the report from TMZ, authorities are now conducting a probe for possible fraud acts.

…someone made the allegation last week to the L.A. County Dept. of Welfare Fraud Prevention and Investigation (WFP&I), claiming Octo is getting various forms of welfare, including food stamps, even though she made nearly $200,000 in 2012.

Under California law, Octo can legitimately collect welfare for her and her 14 kids if she makes $119,000 or less in a calendar year, but if the allegation is true … she exceeded the limit by a lot.

Law enforcement sources tell us … the WFP&I is conducting a probe and has already interviewed witnesses in Octo’s world.

If WFP&I determines Octo committed welfare fraud, she can be prosecuted. If convicted she could face more than 3 years in prison.
