WFSFAA and the Police had recently conducted a joint operation to combat fraudulent acts by those seeking to obtain the Working Family Allowance (WFA) illegally.  The Police have arrested a total of six people for allegedly defrauding or intending to defraud the WFSFAA.  Obtaining the WFA by deception is a criminal offence.  In addition to being disqualified for the WFA, the applicant may also be prosecuted and liable on conviction to imprisonment for a maximum of 14 years.  The WFSFAA will continue to examine WFA applications in a stringent manner to ensure the proper use of public funds.  Members of the public are urged not to defraud the WFSFAA.  Please click here to learn more.
