What were you doing at 17 years old? Were you competing in the Summer Olympics, like Zuri Ferguson?
Ferguson, now a senior at Attleboro High School in Attleboro, Massachusetts, competed in the women's 100-meter backstroke for the Trinidad and Tobago national team at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France; both of her parents are from Trinidad and Tobago.
Massachusetts state Auditor Diana DiZoglio says investigators in her office found more than $2.3 million in welfare fraud in the state during one three-month period earlier this year.
The report, by the state auditor's Bureau of Special Investigations, covers the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 (between April 1, 2024 and June 30, 2024). Most of the fraud cases involve the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, often referred to as SNAP, and also known as food stamps.
