The same applies for the Administering Authority for welfare on an Indian reserve. This is called an overpayment. If the Ministry believes that you have received the benefit through fraud, or providing false or misleading information, it will investigate and may have you charged with an offence under the ''Criminal Code'' or provincial welfare laws. Fraud means receiving assistance as a result of providing information that you know is false or misleading. | ||
