Yes, it is considered fraud. If you are successful in obtaining food stamps based on false information, you can be prosecuted. See the link below. A quote from that page, 'Unlawful possession or use of food stamp benefits in an amount of $100 or more is a felony; less than $100 is a misdemeanor.' The amount of your offense would be the total amount of the benefits that you received fraudulently.

Is it illegal to lie on a job application?
Yes. Misleading someone for the purpose of financial gain is fraud... And although it is highly unlikely that the employer would do anything about it--in practical terms, you've just made it easy for them to fire you for cause. Depends upon the job. Some jobs it is illegal and for all jobs can result to being fired or terminated from the position. Never lie on an application. You can ommit some things but explain why.
Is it illegal to check 'no' on a job application where it asks if you have been convicted of a crime even if you have?
It isn't illegal unless the application has a clause stating so, if you deliberately mislead and/or lie about information. They will probably find out though, and any chance you may have had to be hired (or if hired you will be probably be fired) will go down the drain. It is always illegal to use a false or someone else's SSN# on any application. By signing on the dotted line, you are swearing that everything contained herein on your application is completely 100% true. If you lie, and your new boss finds out, you can and will be fired for falsifying your application. It just makes you look more sketchy if you lie. It is better to be honest, and show that you have learned from your mistakes, rather than keep commiting them. Most applications ask if you have ever been convicted of a felony, which is totally diff from a crime. so if it says felony and that isn't you then you may answer no
