    Lightbulb Food Stamp (SNAP) Fraud

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

    My ex-husband buys and sells cars online, he recently told me he has $20,000 saved up.
    He hasn't worked for a year and he collects foodstamps on our 2 children. With him having so much money saved up would it be considered fraud? I'm pretty sure he doesn't tell welfare he has that much money.

    Is there proof of this?

    What is it you wish to accomplish?

    He has sold 8 cars that I know of, I have online print outs, the money was something he told me just recently when we were trying to sort out custody issues. I don't feel it is right for him to be making all that money while collecting assistance. For him to not report it to the IRS is just not fair to all the working people out there who do have to pay taxes.
    He is an able body person who could be out working, or if he wants to continue selling cars he should do it legally and get a business license and pay taxes like the rest of us. Then getting assistance on top of that its just wrong.

    He needs to report the income to the IRS for sure.

    He will only need to report the income if he made more income then which was allowed for his household size and when his checking/savings account exceeds $2,000.

    Say if his household has 3, his two sons and himself and the state allows an income of $1,600 a month for a household of 3 and he sold two cars that month with a profit of $2,000 then he would have to report that income.

    If he sold 2 cars that month and only made $1,599.99 profit, then he wouldn't have to report it.

    But once his checking or savings reached $2,000 , he would have to report that.
