Section 265.24.8. Fraudulent practices relating to the rent subsidy program.

A person is guilty of a fraudulent practice if that person, or the person’s representative, with the intent to gain financial assistance for which that person is not eligible, knowingly makes or causes to be made a false statement or representation, or knowingly fails to report to an employee of the authority any change in circumstances affecting that person’s eligibility for financial assistance. In cases of found fraudulent practices, the authority may require, as a condition of continued participation in the rent subsidy program, repayment of the amount that was received by the recipient while the recipient was ineligible.
