Q: I have a welfare fraud investigator getting ahold of me, should I talk to them?
I’m pretty sure it has to do with me since I am/was on food stamps. After speaking with my parents I did put on the papers that I had no income when in fact I was working. But I thought, which might sound dumb…. But I thought it was asking me for my income after all of my bills. Which would be 50$ to my name but then I use that for gas. So I had no money for food. I also put that my mom was helping me with my rent which she was for quite some time. I’ve been on food stamps for a while, not sure how much I accumulated. I have no criminal background. An investigator keeps trying to contact me and I’m not sure if I should talk to them or not. I want to because I am the type that cooperates. But then my mom is telling me otherwise and just to be on the safe side get a lawyer. Not sure what to do at this point
