By rssfeeds-admin Priscilla Jackson, 40, of Prairieville, was charged with unauthorized use of SNAP benefits, theft over $25K, and government benefits fraud.
According to Attorney General Liz Murrill’s office, the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation received a criminal tip to investigate Jackson on suspicion of Medicaid fraud on Nov. 17, 2022.
During the investigation, the Louisiana Department of Health Recipient Fraud Unit learned that Jackson allegedly failed to provide accurate personal information, such as her marriage and her husband’s income, to the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) and the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to get SNAP benefits. Murrill’s office said that between 2018 and 2025, Jackson would not have been eligible for Medicaid if she had reported the accurate information.
Jackson is accused of underreporting information and providing falsified applications. She reportedly stole a total of $126,812 from both state agencies. According to an affidavit, Jackson bought a $110,742 Cadillac Escalade and paid $70,000 for pool installation.
Jackson was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on Thursday, May 8. Her bond was set at $10,000.
