Welfare Fraud

undefinedWhat is the name of your state? California.
Is there a statute of limitations on welfare fraud? If so, what is it? I am NOT asking because I am trying to "get away with it." I just applied for a teaching credential and I have a conviction from 1986. Made me wonder...

Pay attention only to the part that concerns you:

Standard answer on statute of limitations:

The statutes on limitations is, among other things, a statute telling the government how long it has to file a criminal charge. It stops running the day the charge is filed.

This is not a game of tag where, if you can keep from getting caught, you are home free.

Some states and jurisdictions will pull old warrants after awhile; some states and jurisdictions keep warrants active forever.

My best advice: surrender.
