Alleged Medicaid fraudster bought Cadillac, had pool installed, Louisiana attorney general says
Getty Images An Ascension Parish woman has been charged with three felonies for allegedly falsifying applications for Medicaid and food assistance. She reportedly collected more than $125,000 through the fraud scheme and used the money for luxury purchases, according to Attorney General Liz Murrill. Priscilla Jackson, 40, of Prairieville was arrested Thursday and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Jail. The Louisiana Bureau of Investigation started a probe in November 2022 after the agency was forwarded fraud allegations from the Louisiana Department of Health. An internal LDH audit discovered Jackson had underreported her household income, didn't disclose she was married and failed to include financial support she received from her husband on her applications for Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits from the state Department of Children and Family Services, the attorney general's office said. The money Jackson received from the fraudulent applications totaled more than $107,000 from the health department and $19,665 from DCFS, according to Murrill's office. Arrest records the attorney general referenced indicate Jackson's household bought a Cadillac Escalade for more than $110,000 and paid for a $70,000 pool installation during the time she allegedly obtained the benefits through fraud. Jackson and her children did not qualify for Medicaid from 2018-25, the records also noted. The felony charges against Jackson include one count each of unauthorized use of SNAP benefits, theft over $25,000 and government benefits fraud. There was no response to messages sent to two phone numbers listed under Jackson's address. Jackson's bond was set at $100,000. Information was not immediately available on whether she had posted bail. SUPPORT: YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE
