Candace Taylor, a woman from Louisiana, has found herself in legal trouble. She was recently arrested in Slidell for allegedly committing Government Benefits Fraud, according to the state's attorney. It is believed that Taylor was able to steal millions of dollars through fraudulent actions related to the state's Medicaid program.
According to authorities, Taylor, who resides in Slidell, is accused of owning six businesses that generated over $9.5 million during a certain period of time. This is a significant amount of money, and it has raised suspicions about Taylor's actions. The state's attorney's office has discovered that Taylor applied for Medicaid using an alias, "Candace Sailor." In her 2019 application, she claimed to have a biweekly income of $1,900 with no dependents. However, her application was denied. Undeterred, Taylor tried again under the same alias, and this time she was able to enroll and receive benefits, despite discrepancies in her name and dependents.
It is alleged that in 2024, just two months after purchasing a Lamborghini, Taylor contacted the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) to renew her Medicaid benefits. On this occasion, she falsely claimed to be employed by a business and declared a monthly income of $4,000, conveniently omitting the fact that she was the owner of the business. This information was discovered by agents who also saw multiple social media posts by Taylor on Facebook and Instagram, flaunting her luxurious purchases.
Due to her actions, Taylor has become known as the "Medicaid millionaire," as determined by the Louisiana Attorney General's office. It was found that she underreported her actual income in order to qualify for Medicaid from 2021 to 2024. In a public service announcement, Attorney General Liz Murrill emphasized that it is not acceptable to use Medicaid funds for extravagant purchases, such as a Lamborghini and plastic surgery.
Prosecutors have accused Taylor of using fraudulently obtained Medicaid funds to make several luxury purchases, including a 2022 Lamborghini Urus worth $13,000, a $100,000 wire transfer, $45,000 in Audi car payments, property acquisitions, high-end jewelry, and cosmetic procedures. Investigators also discovered that Taylor had been flaunting her wealth on various social media platforms.
According to the affidavit, Taylor continued to transfer large sums of money between her personal and business accounts from 2021 to 2024, with her personal income consistently exceeding the eligibility thresholds for Medicaid. This ultimately led to her arrest after the Louisiana Department of Health received a tip. The tip prompted an investigation by the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation, and Taylor is now facing charges for fraudulent eligibility claims and possible restitution to the Medicaid program.
It is important to note that knowingly falsifying income or household information in order to qualify for Medicaid can result in severe penalties, including up to five years in prison, restitution, and fines of up to $20,000. Such actions not only harm the Medicaid program but also hinder the African American community, as highlighted in the article, "How The Senate's Plan For Massive Medicaid Cuts Will Hinder The African American Community." It is crucial to uphold the integrity of government programs and to use them for their intended purpose, to provide assistance to those in need.
