The most common types of welfare fraud include failing to report additional income, failure to disclose information regarding household family members, or supplying false information about an inability to work. There have also been instances were people feigned illness or injury to manipulate the welfare system. it is a rediculous thing. people who would sit on their asses and steal from the working people. it happens all the time and it needs to stop! although it is not technically considered fraud getting pregnant just to collect welfare is also another form of "cheating the system" and unfortunately happens far too often.
