A complaint made last week alleges that Nadya "Octomom" Suleman committed welfare fraud, receiving various government benefits despite earning nearly $200,000 last year. TMZ reports:
Under California law, Octo can legitimately collect welfare for her and her 14 kids if she makes $119,000 or less in a calendar year, but if the allegation is true ... she exceeded the limit by a lot.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... the WFP&I is conducting a probe and has already interviewed witnesses in Octo's world.
If WFP&I determines Octo committed welfare fraud, she can be prosecuted. If convicted she could face more than 3 years in prison.
