Brett Favre Took $1.1M in Mississippi Welfare Funds For Being A No-Show
Brett Favre On Payment Plan To Repay $1.1M in Mississippi Welfare Funds He Took For Events He Never Attended
Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre is repaying $1.1 million in welfare money. Mississippi state auditor states Favre received the money for multiple events that he did not show up.
Mississippi Auditor Shad White said his office received $500,000 from Favre on Wednesday. Favre also made a commitment to repay the other $600,000 in installments over the next few months.
Favre’s effort to repay the money came after White released an audit by the Mississippi Department of Human Services. The audit showed the Mississippi Community Education Center paid Favre to attend certain functions.
