Nevada § 426.800 - Fraudulent acts: Penalty; presumption

§ 426.800. Fraudulent acts: Penalty; presumption

1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 426.461 , a person who knowingly obtains or attempts to obtain, or aids or abets any person

to obtain by means of a willfully false statement or representation or by impersonation,

or other fraudulent device, services to which he or she is not entitled, or services

greater than those to which he or she is entitled, with the intent to defeat the purposes

of this chapter, is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. 2. For the purposes of subsection 1, if a recipient of services pursuant to the provisions

of this chapter receives an overpayment for the third time and the overpayments have

resulted from a false statement or representation by the recipient or from the failure

of the recipient to notify the Bureau of a change in his or her circumstances which

would affect the amount of services the person receives, a rebuttable presumption

arises that the payment was fraudulently received.
