Rhode Island woman charged with Medicaid fraud

Published: Sunday, November 8, 2009 2:18 AM EST

CATSKILL — A Rhode Island woman was charged with Medicaid fraud after an investigation by Greene County social services.

On Nov. 3, state police charged Tammy Moretti, 39, formerly of Catskill, now residing in Rhode Island, with third-degree grand larceny, third-degree welfare fraud, second-degree forgery and two counts of first-degree offering a false instrument for filing.

Moretti allegedly stole $3,930 in food stamp benefits, $11,889 in Medicaid benefits and $99 in HEAP benefits from the county Department of Social Services. She knowingly failed to advise social services that she moved out of Greene County and New York State and continued to apply for benefits. She received a total of $15,918 of benefits for which she was not entitled.

Moretti was remanded to the Greene County Jail until her next court appearance.

" Welfare cheats steal from the taxpayers and the people who truly need our help.
Stealing from the poor is about as low as you can get.

I must congratulate Greene County for aggressively pursuing welfare cheats

Keep up the good work. "
