Judge William Garnett ordered that they pay full restitution of the stolen funds. In addition, each of them must pay a $1,000 fine and perform 150 hours of community service.
Mennashe and his wife Chana, both 34, were arrested in Brooklyn and charged with welfare fraud and grand larceny, for stealing Medicaid benefits.
Welfare investigators found that the couple lied to the city when they applied for and collected Medicaid benefits worth $10,865, reporting that their only income or resource was $1,000 a week earned by Mennashe, but he was making more money at his job.
The couple also owned a second home in Sullivan County that they failed to mention, and earned income from a Brooklyn rental property at South 8th St. [Brooklyn Eagle]
If you are all so perfect what do you say on yom kippur – LO ASHOMNU, LO BO GADNU, LO GOZALNU??
Don’t you hate having to fast just because other people sin?
throw these bums in jail. FOREVER.
WHat you stupid idiots on this blog fail to understnad is that by this scum of the earth cheating lying and stealing to get a few $$$ from the govt. they are making less money availble for those who REALLY need it, like Holocaust survivors, people with ten children BEH, people with disabilities,etc. etc.
You phoney jews therefore have to stop cheating lying and stealing from govt. You are hurting only your jew brothers and sisters.
the solution is “national health care”!
Hillery for president!!
Why is it so difficult for so many of you to believe that people actually do live within the law and do not rip off the government or anyone else? I have never collected any social services, never food stamps, never welfare, never WIC, never lied on my tax returns, never stole what was not mine. I live within my means. So, if I want to judge someone for fraud and add my opinion, I have every right to. There is no excuse for fraud. A sick child is not an excuse. I hope more investigations take place. I’m tired of seeing my neighbors living above their means and flaunting it. I’ve been told I’m an idiot for not taking advantage of the “loop holes” in the system and not “fudging” my tax returns. I find it repulsive that so many people find this to be acceptable behavior.
You’d all better start planning your defense for when the RBS”O judges you the way you are judging these people.
Are you all so perfect or just sure that YOUR misdeeds will never be revealed and you will never be held accountable for them?
Being that you all know nothing about these people and what mitigating factors were at play you should all shut the Hell up and spend the time you waste here condeming other people on perfecting yourselves.
150 hours of community service. Wow. Does gaiyin noch gelt qualify? If it does he is in luck. You can rake in much more in 150 hours of schnorring than the $10,000 they managed to steal from the government.
Anon at 11:51am — Thanks, you just cracked me up!! You’re funny! Ever think of working to make a living? Oh, like they had no other choice. Greed, greed, and more greed, topped with entitlement issues.
The only thing they are entitled to here is the punishment they are getting. I believe they’re getting off pretty easily.
Stealing ten grand from the government is a shande. Doesn’t even buy a seat on mizrich vant. Now if it were $10 million we could start talking.
You’re all missing out on a wonderful opportunity to shut your mouths and not make fools of yourselves.
Are the walls of glass houses hiding nothing so you can afford to throw stones?
anon1247 of coarse one shouldnt judge someone else untill their in their predicament but having a sick child in no way shape or form gives you a license to steal we arent event discussing the massive chilull hashem that occurs due to our yidlich with all the shtickes and if all above is true kimt zeyy takeh klep vayel zeyh huban fin vanen tzum leben? not like they were down and out caught shoplifting bread to feed their kids
Maybe think twice before you set out to fraud the govermment. What a chilul hashem. They’ll give some Tzedakah to a Shul or Yehivah and everything will be okay.
Whatever your critic, this place is definitly not where you should spit it out! Think twice b4 you post here!

Maybe everyone should keep thier mouths shut unless they are perfecly clean of all wrong-doing.
12:47 – wow we must have thousands of sick children R”CL! Or maybe we B”H don’t have so many, and people are just into fraud like this! Think about it….
This is just the beginning.
anon 12:16 what about Al tudin chavirchu ad schtagia limkomo? Maybe he has a sick child and couldn’t get insurance for pre ?exiting? Conditions?
One should ajust his standard of living to fit his income and not the other way around.
It’s a shame that these ppl probably could have lived decently w/o the medicaid, and yet they defrauded the gov’t.
what a shame that yidden have to turn to fraud to make a living.
