Another South Dakota government worker accused of job-related financial crimes

Former DSS employee accused of stealing food stamps

Another former employee of the state of South Dakota is accused of abusing their job for financial gain.

Attorney General Marty Jackley’s office announced Thursday that a former South Dakota Department of Social Services employee has been charged with using a DSS grocery voucher, intended for families in need, for personal use.

“It is alleged this defendant abused her position by using resources intended to help others for her own personal gain,” Jackley said in a release. “The Attorney General’s Office intends to continue to prosecute these cases to regain the public’s trust in state government. I appreciate the Department of Social Services’ cooperation throughout this investigation.”
