Mississippi couple to pay over $315K after submitting false Medicaid forms
SUMMARY: Two individuals in Mississippi have been ordered to pay $315,380 for fraudulently obtaining Medicaid benefits for their dependents. Manjit Kaur and Gurmej Singh hid their ownership of multiple businesses and the value of their home in order to qualify for the benefits. They falsely claimed that Kaur was the sole source of income and that Singh was not residing in the home. Prosecutors allege that the couple caused the Mississippi Division of Medicaid to pay over $157,000 in federal healthcare coverage benefits for ineligible recipients. The case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
