Investigators say she was collecting public assistance benefits from Tompkins County while working as a private home health care aid.
Stephanie Potts, 39, is charged with 3 counts of welfare fraud.
Deputies arrested her last Thursday.
Their investigation started when the family of an elderly person – who Potts was caring for – questioned errors in financial payments to Potts.
Investigators also found she filed paperwork with the Department of Social Services so that she could still receive benefits.
She was arraigned and is now in the county jail without bail
