[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8916213, member: 683408"] I spend my time investigating, stopping, preventing, and prosecuting when possible. Here's the thing about fraud: If states spent the money it would take to prevent it on the front end, people would be bitching about the expense. You'd be talking about a minimum of quadrupling the welfare workforce, so that workers could do deep-dives on every case and every application they worked on. In some states. workers have as many as 1500 cases they are responsible for. Some are touched annually, some are touched every six months, some are touched monthly. How much time do you think a worker can spend on each of those 1,500 cases in a 2,000 hour work year? It's actually financially far cheaper to catch it on the back end than it is to employ the number of people needed to prevent it on the front end. Did you ever notice that if you need a cop, one is only 15 minutes away? Wouldn't crime prevention be better if every city had a cop on every corner 24/7, ready to act? Sure. But think of the cost.
