Description
This case poses two questions about the welfare fraud statute. (Welf. & Inst. Code, Γ§ 10980.) The first is whether obtaining more than $400 worth of welfare benefits by false representations for a number of consecutive months constitutes a single felony or only a series of misdemeanors. Welfare and Institutions Code section 10980, subdivision (c) provides that if the total amount of such aid is $400 or less, the crime is a misdemeanor and if more, an alternate felony. We hold that the crime is a felony when those benefits are illegally obtained pursuant to one general scheme. The second is whether the classification of such a crime as a felony violates a recipients constitutional right to due process and equal protection. We hold that it does not and consequently reject the constitutional challenge as well.
