Being investigated for fraud!! Really need help!!!

Ok so this is a long story so please bare with

me!

I live in Canada and I've come here because I

can't find any Canadian advice forums for this

type of stuff online. I'm really worried because

my fiancée and I were on government

assistance due to him having heart failure. He

recently got a job as did I.

We collected a month of welfare because up

until that point I had not been paid. I forgot that

my husband had been paid because he is on a

week to week salary and I am on a two week

salary so I filled out the income card according

to my income. I thought that this was our last

month as we were both working. However my

fiancée contacted our worker and she told us

we could collect three more months of payment

not in the full amount but to wean us off

assistance so to speak until we were on our

feet, which made sence to us because we owe

1400 dollars in rent areers to our landlord who

was kind enough to let us live here three

months free while my fiancée was going

through his heart issues.

So everything was apparently ago and the we

got a call at 8 in the morning from our case

worker saying he lied about income because

he filled out our income card as no income.

And when asked if he was working he said no,

but he did not say no to being asked if he was

working, she asked him if he had worked over

time and he has not so his answer was no. He

tells me he knows he should have filled out the

card accordingly and it was a mistake he

wished he hadn't made but when she came at

him about it very aggressively he panicked and

didn't know what to say. He is being

investigated now and I'm really scared of what

could happen.

We have received money from family in small

amounts like 150 which we never claimed

because we had to repay that out of our

welfare check. I'm really afraid he wi go to jail

or get a criminal record because his job does

things for the U.S military and he can not have

a criminal record.

We are more then willing to pay back what

they feel we owe because it is just a little over

1000 dollars in question, but is that even an

option or will further charges be pressed? He

has no prior criminal record nor do I. Can you

please give me some advice? If your still

reading this I really appreciate it and I would

love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!
