"Octomom" Nadya Suleman is currently under investigation for welfare fraud after investigators received a tip claiming the mother of 14 was collecting thousands of dollars in government assistance despite having grossed more than $200,000 last year.
TMZ reported investigators from the Los Angeles County Department of Welfare Fraud Prevention and Investigation (WFP&I) are in the process of seizing bank records and other documents from Suleman to determine if she unlawfully collected welfare last year. She supposedly grossed upward of $200,000 in 2012, far surpassing the cap of $119,000 or less.
Officials plan to search the home and office of her manager, according to a warrant obtained by TMZ. Suleman faces up to three years in prison if she is eventually prosecuted.
The Huffington Post has reached out to Suleman's attorney for comment.
RadarOnline.com previously reported that Ocyomom received an estimated $60,000 in welfare benefits, including food stamps, even though she brought in money from pornography , stripping and other publicity jobs.
Suleman went off welfare in 2012 only to go back on it in January 2013 following a rehab stint, ABC News reported.
"She spent most of her savings while she was in Chapman Treatment center, paying for around-the-clock nannies, drivers, security and her treatment program," her former rep, Gina Rodriguez, told the network at the time. "She does not expect to be on longer than three months."
If ever a case begged for government intervention for those innocent children, THIS is it. It NEVER should have gotten this far. She proved UNFIT from the very beginning with her first six kids and the fact her parents had to take care of them.
This woman has tremendous psychological problems, has no business having or raising any children, and it's a complete mystery why this charade has been allowed to continue risking the lives of these children with no intervention by the authorities. She spends as little time with them as possible, has made public declarations about her lack of interest in them, and I'd be surprised if she could correctly identify all 14 of her children by their full names and birth dates.
