MS 0930 (1) Volume I – General Administration MS 0930 – R. 7/1/21 – OMTL-580 Employee Fraud Employee fraud is defined as fraudulent activity by an employee responsible for administering an assistance program who knowingly obtains benefits or provides assistance to an individual in order to obtain benefits, or receive increased benefits, for which the individual is not eligible. The employee committing the fraud is subject to prosecution. If convicted, this felony is punishable by imprisonment of five to 10 years and/or a fine up to $10,000 or double the gain. A Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) or contract employee who knows or suspects that fraud has or may have occurred must report it within 24 hours to their supervisor, Service Region Administrator (SRA)/Division Director, or by calling the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Fraud hotline at 1-800-372-2970. An employee who fails to report suspected fraudulent activity may be subject to disciplinary action and dismissal, as well as relevant criminal penalties. [Employee fraud claims are completed by a designated individual as determined by the Division of Family Support (DFS). Do not enter a fraud claim which involves any DCBS employee on the Integrated Eligibility and Enrollment System (IEES). This applies even if the individual is not responsible for administering an assistance program. To complete a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) overpayment, use form FS-103, SNAP Worksheet, on the Historical Allotment Calculator located in the DFS Forms Library. For a Kentucky Transitional Assistance Program (KTAP) overpayment, use form PA 30, KTAP Assistance Budget, located in the DFS Forms Library.]
