What US state can a single male with no kids collect the most welfare?
Food stamps and other perks are a plus as well. Another consideration
is any maximum limits on the amount of time you can receive payments
or any red tape they put you through to get it.
Or, if anyone knows of a state-by-state comparison of welfare
benefits, I'd also be interested in that too.
Thanks for any info.

Why limit yourself to a single state? For years there have been people
collecting welfare in both New York and New Jersey. Cheap ride on the PATH
train to go back and forth.

Insurance fraud nets 3 years for ex-dentist from Freehold
By ED JOHNSON
STAFF WRITER
A former dentist from Freehold has been sentenced to three years in state prison
after admitting to fraudulently obtaining more than $530,000 in disability
payments over a 13-year period.
Michael F. Monica, 65, of Freehold was given the prison term Friday by Superior
Court Judge Frederick P. DeVesa. Monica had pleaded guilty in June to a criminal
accusation that charged him with second-degree theft by deception. He could have
received as much as 10 years in prison, the state Attorney General's Office said
Monday.
Monica, formerly a licensed dentist in New Jersey, admitted that between Jan. 2,
1992, and Nov. 29, 2005, he fraudulently obtained disability insurance claims
money from several insurance companies and the Social Security Administration.
Monica admitted that he falsely told the insurance companies and the Social
Security Administration that he was disabled and not able to practice dentistry
when, in fact, he continued to operate a dental practice during the entire
13-year period in Freehold.
Prosecutors charged that he submitted false statements about his disability to
the Cigna Insurance Co., the Lincoln Financial Group and the Social Security
Administration, collecting $530,074 in disability benefits to which he was not
entitled.
State Attorney General Anne Milgram said Monica wrongfully collected $144,000
from Cigna, $81,500 from Lincoln Financial and $304,574 from the Social Security
Administration.
State investigators also seized assets they claim he acquired through the fraud.
Those assets include $97,875 in cash, three gold bars, 12 gold coins and three
parcels of real estate, including two condominium units in Atlantic City and a
single-family home in Howell, Milgram added.
The proceeds from the asset forfeiture action are to be be applied to pay both
restitution to the insurance companies and civil fraud fines, with the balance
being forfeited to the state, Brown said.
"Far too often this office receives allegations that persons who claim to be
disabled are actually working and collecting disability insurance," Brown said.
"This guilty plea demonstrates our resolve to prosecute persons who commit
disability insurance fraud."
Monica may also face civil insurance fraud fines, Brown said.
Maine woman sentenced for Social Security fraud
October 4, 2008
BANGOR, Maine --A 48-year-old Eddington woman has been sentenced for collecting
more than $45,000 in Social Security benefits intended for her disabled
daughter.
Felicia Brooks was sentenced Friday in federal court in Bangor to one month in
prison followed by five months of home confinement and three years of supervised
released. She was ordered to repay $45,551 to the government.
According to court documents, Brooks' developmentally disabled daughter began
receiving benefits in 1998, the same year that Brooks and her husband divorced.
The state removed Brooks' daughter from her custody in 2000, but Brooks
continued to receive and spend her daughter's disability checks for the next
seven years.
Brooks' attorney asked the judge to not impose any jail time because of her
mental health problems.
