LOS
ANGELES – An investigation indicates Los Angeles County social
workers are very bad drivers – or liars.
The Department of Children and Family Services audit shows workers
had more than $1 million in vehicle damage claims in a little more than
two years. The investigation also found some questionable payouts.
The audit released last week says there’s widespread lack of management
oversight in reimbursing 3,000 county social workers for work-related vehicle
damage.
Auditors say one social worker sought reimbursement for vehicle damage
while off-duty and others forged supervisor signatures on claims.
In one case, an employee claimed a vehicle was totaled and filed a claim
exceeding
$10,000 even though police called it a minor fender-bender.
