SWD spares no efforts to combat welfare payment fraud. As part of its community education programme, anti-fraud panels are being installed in all social security field units to remind those concerned to report their circumstances honestly and be aware of the seriousness of committing any offence. Latest figures on social security fraud are announced regularly on the panels and there are also cuttings about fraud cases resulting in conviction.
Don't Break the Law: CSSA Fraud is a Criminal Offence
Any deliberate provision of false information or omission of information in order to obtain CSSA by deception is a criminal offence. In addition to the consequence of being ineligible for CSSA, the applicant is liable on conviction to imprisonment for a maximum of 14 years under the Theft Ordinance (Cap.210 of the Laws of Hong Kong),
