What could the consequences be for a caregiver fraudulently clocking hours for her father?

Is it illegal for a caregiver who works for multiple Home Health Care Agencies (one agency requires the caregiver to clock in and out electronically on a token) but is lying because the caregiver's client is her father. He asked her if she wanted to be his caregiver and be paid without having actually show up to work. Told her she'd have to split your check with him and you dont even have to come in as long as you clock in and out on time. I wont say anything. This went on for a whole year. The caregiver has been getting paid by a home health care agency and has never showed up to work for her father!

Might I ask why you are coming to us rather than going to the authorities to report this fraud?

Fraud! Why do people think the rules don't apply to them? It's a disgrace.

What you do is up to you. I'd go the ethical route myself. If anyone even knows what ethical is anymore.

The ethical and moral thing to do is report the wrongdoing

Have you reported this person to the agency that she supposedly works for, and if not why not?
And have you also reported the person who is close to you for doing the exact thing?
Knowing that someone is doing something illegal and choosing not to do anything about it like reporting them to the proper authorities, in my mind makes you just as guilty as they are.
