LAKEWOOD — The arrest of four millionaire couples on Monday by state and federal authorities may just be the start as officials crack down on welfare fraud in this Ocean County community.
Rabbi Zalmen Srotzkin, 39, of Congregation Lutzk, and his wife, Tzipporah, 35; and Mordechai Breskin, 37, and his wife, Jocheved, 35, were arrested on charges filed by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.
The FBI, meanwhile, arrested Rachel Sorotzkin, 32, Mordechai Sorotzkin, 35, Yocheved Nussbaum, 40, and Shimon Nussbaum, 42, on federal charges of conspiring to steal federal funds.
Authorities said the families, who owned businesses and lived in large homes, collected Medicaid and subsidized housing benefits and food stamps.
