RE: PRESS RELEASE – DANIELLE LAMBERT
On August 16, 2018, Danielle Lambert, age 28 of Kingston, NY, was arrested by Ulster County Sheriff's Deputies and charged with Felony Offering a False Instrument for Filing 1st (2 counts) and Misdemeanor Welfare Fraud 5th degree.
An investigation conducted by the Ulster County Department of Social Services Special Investigation Unit, along with the Office of the Ulster County District Attorney, found that Ms. Lambert filed both Temporary Assistance and SNAP applications between 5/18 and 7/18 with the Department of Social Services, indicating that she had 2 children in her household, when in fact she does not have any children in her household. Thus, resulting in Ms. Lambert receiving $668.67 in Temporary Assistance and SNAP benefits she would not have received, had she provided truthful information to D.S.S.
Ms. Lambert was processed and issued appearance tickets to appear in Ulster Town Court.
