Two SF Women Charged With $500K In Welfare Fraud by Claiming They Were Caring for 17 Kids
Briefly

Daisy Avalos and Maggie Pasigan pled guilty to a major Section 8 fraud scheme, raking in $30,000 monthly while falsely declaring they provided care for 17 children. In total, they fraudulently obtained $500,000 in childcare subsidies from a nonprofit managing public funds for childcare services. The scheme was uncovered when surveillance showed no signs of any children being present at their residence. Avalos, employed by SFMTA, and Pasigan's partnership triggered an investigation due to eligibility concerns for welfare benefits. Their next court date is set for April 2025.
"The two women claimed to be providing care for 17 children while actually receiving over $30,000 per month in fraudulent childcare subsidies, totaling $500,000."
"Surveillance revealed no evidence of children being cared for, highlighting the systematic deception in their claim for public benefits."
