Suleman is capped at pocketing $119,000 in a calendar year, but financial records showed she took home $150,248.77 in 2012.

According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Suleman failed to report nearly $30,000 in earnings while raking in the public assistance in 2013.

The single mom had been collecting welfare in Los Angeles County, but after being evicted from her Palmdale, Calif. rental last year, moved to Orange County, and began collecting government assistance.

"Nadya applied for welfare in Orange County when she moved last year...she is currently receiving at least $2,000 in benefits monthly," a source told Breaking Celebrity News.

"She hasn't had steady employment and relies on welfare to pay her bills. There is no indication at this point that she is under any scrutiny in Orange County."

As Breaking Celebrity News exclusively reported last year, an investigation by the Los Angeles County Department of Welfare Fraud Prevention and Investigation (WFP&I) exposed how Octo-Mom made $33,256.77 from her “self-pleasure” film.
