(This Policy Directive Replaces PD #12-12-OPE)
Social service agencies must implement measures that are designed to prevent, detect, and report fraud. Fraud is the willful intent to misrepresent, conceal, or withhold facts for the purpose of obtaining social services benefits. In the Human Resources Administration (HRA), the Bureau of Fraud Investigation (BFI) investigates complaints of Cash Assistance (CA), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Medical Assistance (MA) fraud received from applicants, participants, staff, and other persons.
