I agree with the Nature Boy on this one. She lied on paperwork before so whose to say she hasn't done that in other instances? Also is the daughter legal or not right now? If she is legal then why did she not petition for her Mom in all this time?

Daughter is illegal also. Why didnt the husband petition the wife. Like I said always more to the story. The Grandmother had charges of welfare fraud pending against her

Americans do welfare fraud.

I know that as well. My x-wife committed fraud on food stamps and welfare until I reported on her. It turns out that weren't to happy about her claiming food stamps all the while receiving $2k a month from me for child support.

 

Anyone who commits fraud should be held accountable no matter what.

Yeah it was $2000 a month. I could afford it at the time because I was a military contractor. 

They found out about it because they came after me for child support because she was on food stamps. Until my mother who was my POA at the time showed them all the checks she wrote. 

 

Also what people don't realize is that you can use EBT in CA to buy fast food, and a number of places will let you use it to buy cigarettes with it as well. It is not allowed but some places do do it until the are caught.

I am wondering that as well because if the husband was a sailor then they could have had a easier time for them to make her legal.

That is ridiculous. People who use it for cigarettes should face severe consequences. To me it's a crime to take money away from your kids/family in order to buy something like cigarettes or alcohol.

The lady I go to to cut my hair was asked to take one of the machines.
