You would think paying it back with a criminal record would be all that's required.
Concerning the crim record part is it really necessary? Did her circumstances change and it was non-reporting of new situation that caused the overpayment or was it blatant deception from the beginning?
I know guys who got crim records over driving offences, losing licenses etc. over DUI or speeding, and it wrecks their whole lives and they are only youngsters. They then can become a big burden on the taxpayer for years. I am aware that driving offences prevents serious injury and lives being wiped out but I would prefer a less devastating result for the offender. The real answer is not to allow youngsters get licenses until aged 28, that is when total maturity is supposed to occur by.
