An Illinois caseworker who fabricated triplets so her boyfriend could receive extra food stamps was Monday sentenced to 30 days in jail.

Ebony Martin, 34, was employed at the Illinois Department of Human Services when she created a phony state file for her boyfriend, 38-year-old Keith Jones, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

In it she provided the names and Social Security numbers of fictitious triplets so Jones could receive more government food assistance, prosecutors said.

As the saying goes, to have triplets she needed a miracle as not even her “boyfriend” would touch her!

If FGP had a daughter, it would look just like her.

You too can get a slap on the wrist for ripping off the taxpayer.

The couple also sold some food stamps to friends and family members at half price.

..considered a "green job" by the administration

I went to our local Kroger here in mid-town Memphis. I counted the checkout transactions in my aisle and those surrounding. Of fourteen transactions, two were with a means of payment besides an EBT card.(Food Stamps)

The insulting sentence is actually a bigger crime against society than the blatant fraud itself.

Does this useless human parasite even have to use her voluminous vacation/sick/holiday days while in the slammer, or was she just placed on “paid leave”, AKA among government employees, as vacation.

And the question begs to be asked: "Where the heck did she get these Social Security numbers?" I guess they are easily obtainable!

I wonder how many woman are cheating the system by passing around different children pretending they belonmg to them....with so many baby mommas and no daddies what will stop someone from moving from one state to another and “borrowing” a couple of nephews or nieces to pad the amount of money someone gets...

My guess a lot more than is reported...

A tv station here in Indy got an electronic file showing where Indiana welfare card purchases were made.

(This is supplemental aid to the “poor” over and above food stamps)

California, Hawaii, Vegas, Nevada brothels, Disney World, NYC, Puerto Rico, local casinos, etc

What a rip-off of those who work for a living.

Nothing new.

Working Americans have been carrying these generational lazy parasites on their backs for almost 50 years.

1) Will she have to return the money?

2) Does she get to keep her job?

Maybe that explains Obama. His mother faked him to get on the dole. He is just pretending to be real.

Which is why when the crash comes, these folks are going to come unglued. There is a serious lack of grocery stores in the inner city because they cannot make a profit due to all the theft and armed robberies.

I have had to pull them off the mailman for bringing forced reparations checks a day late.

When those EBT cards no longer have a value on them, you do not want to be anywhere near a city.

And here I thought I was the only one who recognized that extremely generous “slavery reparations” had ALREADY been well underway for decades.

And the question begs to be asked: "Where the heck did she get these Social Security numbers?" I guess they are easily obtainable!

Considering where she worked, I'd say that they'd be very easy to obtain:

Ebony Martin, 34, was employed at the Illinois Department of Human Services...
I have to wonder how many of her "clients" have phony ones as well.

No doubt quite a few, but she's probably holding some in reserve... next year her sister will most likely have quadruplets. :)
