Social Assistance
WHO TO CONTACT IF YOU SUSPECT FRAUD

What should I do if I think someone is taking advantage of a social assistance program and I want to report a suspected case of fraud?


Do you know someone who is getting money from a social assistance program that they should not be receiving?

While there are many people who genuinely need our help, there are unfortunately some who take unfair advantage of assistance programs. If you want to report welfare fraud, we will take you very seriously. Every case will be investigated and, where appropriate, action will be taken.
