SC woman charged with food stamp fraud, according to DSS officials
A Williamsburg County woman was arrested after an investigation revealed that she’d stolen nearly $40K in food stamp benefits.
Monique White McCrea, 35, was charged with the fraudulent acquisition or use of food stamps valued $10,000 or more, according to a news release.
On March 24, McCrea was arrested by agents with the South Carolina Department of Social Services, Office of inspector General, for fraudulently receiving $38,376 in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, the release said.
Between November 2020 and April and 2021 and February 2022 and September 2024, McCrea made false statements — across seven applications — toward securing SNAP benefits by omitting the fact she resided with her husband, whose income was unreported, along with their six children, according to an arrest warrant.
McCrea was booked at the Williamsburg County Detention Center.
