An investigator with the DA's office secured a search warrant on Aug. 11 for the home of Michael Martin, 51, who for 11 years was an eligibility specialist for the county's Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps. The county social services department reported that Martin could be applying fraudulently for Electronic Benefit Transfer cards for a number of people ineligible for assistance, according to information on a search warrant for his apartment.
The investigator initially found last spring that Martin allegedly had filed for benefits for a man who had been incarcerated in Corcoran State Prison for two years. Surveillance videos show Martin's girlfriend using the card, the search warrant affidavit says.

The student athletes are accused of receiving benefits totaling $39,267, ABC-30 television has reported.
