TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - A Tallahassee woman was arrested for fraudulently receiving $5,500 in food stamps after she claimed she was unemployed when she was working.

On April 5, 2016, she submitted documentation that she no longer worked there.
An investigator found that Kravistsky was employed by Mabie Marketing Group from March 21, 2016, through June 20, 2016, and earned gross wages of $2,939.16.
She was employed by Adecco USA Inc. from June 3, 2016, through July 3, 2017, and earned $18,454, a court document shows.
By submitting false applications to the department, Kravitsky fraudulently received $5,504 in Food Stamp Program benefits from April 2016 through March 2017.
