Mangano: $1M in welfare fraud recovered

More than $1 million has been recovered in welfare fraud since the beginning of the year, according to Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano.

“My administration is committed to insuring that only the neediest of our citizens receive the assistance to which they’re entitled,” Mangano said in a news release. “It is infuriating when people . . . take food and shelter away from the neediest. Anyone who tries to cheat the system will be apprehended and prosecuted.”
