You will need to ask for a public defender when you go to court. Theft of Public Assistance is a very serious crime that can carry a penalty of between 10 years in prison or a 100,000 dollar fine. The punishment is not up to the investigator or the DA, that comes from the judge. Whether you will go to jail is doubtful if the time frame was small, and you just "forgot" to report income. However if they can find any attempt on your part to conceal the income, or mislead them the likelihood of jail time increases greatly. As for the dollar amount. You would be required to pay every dollar you have received in government assistance back with interest. For example if you were employed for 1 year, and your Section 8 Agreement is for a rent payment of $150, but the rent in the building is deemed to be 900 dollars based on unit size and area, you would be required to pay back 9,000 dollars plus whatever interested added up during that time. Now it is highly doubtful that your buildings rent is high enough to rack up 32,000 dollars in public assistance in a semi short time frame. What this means to me is that the figure he gave you is including what the investigator believes your fine will be. Obviously you aren't going to get probation for such a crime. Therefore if the investigator said he thinks you don't face jail time, he is expecting you will be given a fine instead. This is most likely where the extra money is coming from. Also, just so you know, if convicted, you will be ineligible for any local, state, or Federal public assistance for a period not shorter than 3 years, but not longer than 10 years. That also means if you receive food stamps, welfare, health care, these assistance programs will be revoked as well. The only program which is non-revoke-able is Social Security payments.

as bad as the Army needs bodies for this war, it doesnt matter how fraudulent his/her enlistment is. The point is they are in now, property of the Government. Why are you trying to ruin someone's life? God dont like ugly.

A fraudulent enlistment? What is that? Is he claiming vet benefits he's not entitled to?

what exactly makes their enlistment a fraud? are you wanting to have no one protecting the weak and innoceant or are you just jealous because they are an american willing to stand up and fight and you are not.
