RE: PRESS RELEASE – MARIE MULLINGS
On August 3, 2018, Marie Mullings, age 28 of Kingston, NY, was arrested by Ulster County Sheriff's Deputies and charged with the Felonies of Welfare Fraud 3rd degree and Offering a False Instrument for Filing 1st degree (3 counts).
An investigation conducted by the Ulster County Department of Social Services Special Investigation Unit, in conjunction with the Office of the Ulster County District Attorney, discovered that Ms. Mullings did not report her correct household composition and income to the Department of Social Services from August 2016 to April 2018. Ms. Mullings filed several SNAP applications during that time period, not disclosing the income, resulting in Ms. Mullings receiving $6,901.00 in SNAP benefits she was not entitled to. Ms. Mullings was processed and issued an appearance ticket to appear in Ulster Town Court.
