Investigators with the Madison County Sheriff’s Office arrested Tammy L. Dyer, 51, of Chittenango, on March 15 and charged her with welfare fraud in the fourth degree, an E Felony, and offering a false instrument for filing in the first degree, an E Felony.
It is alleged that Dyer signed and submitted a public assistance application to the Madison County Department of Social services that contained false information pertaining to her husband’s income. As a result of this fraudulent act, Dyer received $2,303 in public assistance for which she was not eligible.
Dyer is scheduled to answer these charges in Lenox Town Court on April 4.
