Nadya Suleman has been issued an additional welfare charge for allegedly receiving health-care benefits which she wasn't entitled to.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has filed an additional welfare charge against the 38-year-old American woman who came to international attention when she gave birth to octuplets in January 2009 for allegedly receiving 10,000 dollars in MediCal benefits, Radar Online reported.

Suleman, who is known as Octomom, is also facing two counts of perjury, and one count of aid of misrepresentation after filing for welfare in 2013, and failure to report nearly 10,000 dollars in income earned from personal appearances.
