19,000 Welfare recipients missing in Massachusetts...How many missing in your state?

Red-faced state officials admitted last night they are trying to find as many as 19,000 missing welfare recipients — after the controversial taxpayer-funded voter registration pitches the state mailed to their addresses last summer were sent back marked “Return to sender, address unknown.”
The Department of Transitional Assistance contacted 477,000 welfare recipients who were on their books from June 1, 2011, to May 31, 2012, after settling a voter-rights lawsuit brought by Democratic-leaning activist groups that demanded an aggressive voter information effort by the state. That $274,000 push by DTA resulted in 31,000 new voter registrations — but revealed an alarming number of welfare recipients whose residency in Massachusetts can’t be confirmed.

So these folks could be living anywhere or even dead and still collecting welfare as Massachusetts residents because the money is sent to their accounts electronically rather than the old fashion way of by mail.

My question to you is, How much of this is going on in your state as well?
