793-2          FRAUD REFERRALS

When a caseworker believes an individual is withholding or concealing information, or receives a complaint alleging an applicant or recipient may be fraudulent, the caseworker will refer the case to the Fraud Control Unit. The Fraud Control Unit will investigate and decide whether to:

• Proceed against the individual through an Administrative Disqualification Hearing, or
• Conduct a fraud investigation, which may result in referring the case to the Department of Law for criminal prosecution.

See MS 112 of the Administrative Procedures Manual for additional information about fraud referral procedures.
