How Might the Government Detect Welfare Fraud

Hello, im looking to move in with my boyfriend. Its a 2 bedroom appartment and we have a baby on the way and are going to put his name as living there too once hes born. Would my name be put in the system or my sons name as living there or being a co applicant in the system where example a cop or anyone trying to look my ssn up could look at it. Is it public record? Its government assitant housing and based off his income and i have no income but there has to be a co applicant. I have to put my ssn & sign these documents saying im a co applicant,but i was wondering if somebody searched up my name would it be put in the system that i am living there and am a coapplicant and that my sons living there? Also would my ssn be linked with his ssn? How is a co applicant different from a co signer? This is my first time living with someone in an appartment.

You mean you're curious if someone will find out you are committing fraud? Sorry, this isn't the "how do I break the law and get away with it forum."

No actually you are wrong. Everyone on this site always falsey judges. Im simply wondering if im a co applicant if someone was to search me up would it say i was living at that address because i didnt know if itd still say i lived with my parents. You are dumb dont be so quick to judge.

It would be easy to detect your fraud. It sounds as if you are swapping your man's identity with your newborn's.

It appears I have falsely judged nothing. You want to state on the application you live there but you will not. This is fraud. It is illegal.

You will find upon investigation that you are required to keep the public assistance agencies appraised of your actual address.

If you identify your state, somebody may be willing to direct you to that mandate for your state.

Then why don't you come right out and say what you plan to do? It would save time.

What an interesting post.

I take it you've posted under a different name and you didn't get the advice you wanted, right?

All sorts of public assistance records require you to provide your social security number and require you to give the agency permission to do all sorts of checks and cross matches on you based on your social security number. If, for example, you are still listed as a resident in another family, and on their food stamp or public housing case, you can bet on it that the social security number you will be definitely asked to provide will circulate through all the public assistance systems and will cross match saying that according to their records, you are still listed as a member of xxx's household, and they are receiving benefits based on the number in the family, and you are part of that number. But when you speak of "in the system" or someone, a cop or somebody, as you put it doing a search "in the system" I assume you are referring to the public assistance system in your state. One of the reasons that parents are sometimes very negative about children under 18 moving out and not living in their household is that this can seriously affect their benefits, and if they continue to claim this person, do not notify the system that you've moved out of their household, they can get in trouble. It's fraud, can cause them to lose their benefits. Why not just work with public assistance yourself, be perfectly frank with them and tell them exactly where you are living and who you are living with?
