(This Policy Directive Replaces PD #00-17)
Social services agencies are required to 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 service benefits. In the Human Resources Administration (HRA), the Bureau of Fraud Investigation (BFI) investigates complaints of Public Assistance (PA), Food Stamp (FS) and Medical Assistance (MA) fraud received from participants, staff and other persons.
