Fraud Prevention

Sherburne County actively pursues and investigates suspected fraudulent activity. If a person intentionally gives false information or conceals facts about their situation in order to receive or increase their benefits, they may be subject to prosecution or administrative action. This could result in felony-level charges, sentencing, and disqualification from receiving more program benefits. Selling or trading EBT benefits (Cash Assistance or SNAP) is also fraud.
