Cantonment Woman Charged With Welfare Fraud
December 21, 2021
A Cantonment woman has been charged with public assistance fraud.
Katherine Adar Golden, 33, was charged with welfare fraud for failing to disclose information.
The charge against Golden was filed directly against Golden by the State Attorney’s Office.
A court document states Golden received food stamp and Medicaid benefits illegally after failing to report the income of another individual between March 4, 2019, and April 2, 2020. Additional details have not been released.
Golden was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $2,500 bond.

REGARDING:
“are hesitant to say “if it helps one hungry, poor person it’s worth all those who fraudulently benefit”.”
It may not apply here, but stealing is generally opposed rather than justified by the claim, “Well, sure X stole it but X really needed it.” When you steal from the public, you steal from everyone. I favor basic sustenance to all, regardless of determination of need, but oppose stealing even if every thief benefited and don’t insist everyone has to agree with me.
Maybe this lady is innocent, me not know. I’m just talking about the concept of justification of theft.
(And, yes, it would be better if all avoided Hell even though we all deserve it — else Christ need not have died.)
David for honesty
Taking odds that those defending this lady are on or have been on government assistance. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, had to be on it myself. Nothing wrong with assistance but there is a lot wrong with lying! The government assistance programs “give you opportunity to correct yourself and be responsible”.
THIS WENT ON FOR A YEAR AND A MONTH. Plenty of time to BE HONEST! We as people should not uphold dishonesty and dishonesty should not be excused.
This is happening to much. This does not say she lied this says she failed to report a change in the amount of income. Doesn’t mean she didn’t need it could have been laste on paper work.
You have to look at the agency itself.
They need a big change in the vetting of who “qualifies” or “do not”
Been going on since the old commodities people used to get down town.
This food stamp deal is a big black market that thrives on deception.
Everyone knows that.
But thats another story
Josh,
Some pagans are quick to claim “separation of church and state” but are then hesitant to distinguish between God’s clearly distinct biblical calls and purposes for churches/believers and government entities.
Some Xtians are quick to say “if it saves just one person it was all worth it”, but are hesitant to say “if it helps one hungry, poor person it’s worth all those who fraudulently benefit”.
She’s one selfish, sickening individual. So glad she got caught.
Ripping off taxpayers.
Wish there was more investigation into this type of fraud. Even though many who receive it need it. There is way to much fraud. Also think when people refuse promotion an more hours to work that should be looked into also.
what about all the others?????????
I have tried to report people for food stamp fraud, but nothing is ever done
One of Thousands, but glad they got one.
