Devious Duo Steals Homeless Clients’ Info, Then Steals Food Stamps

A city social worker sold the personal information of her poor and homeless clients to an accomplice who used it to empty their food-stamp accounts, prosecutors say.

Human Resources Administration caseworker Tara Tisdale, 41, sold the names and phone numbers of the very people she was supposed to be helping for about $25 a pop, court papers state.

Tisdale admitted to detectives that she even copied the victims’ information from paperwork left on her co-workers’ desks, the papers state.

“People lost their food budget for the entire month. These were people living in shelters with small children. They literally stole food off their table,” said prosecutor Ron Carny, who spent more than a year investigating the alleged scheme.
