1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 426.461, a person who knowingly obtains or attempts to obtain, or aids or abets any person to obtain by means of a willfully false statement or representation or by impersonation, or other fraudulent device, services to which he or she is not entitled, or services greater than those to which he or she is entitled, with the intent to defeat the purposes of this chapter, is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.

2. For the purposes of subsection 1, if a recipient of services pursuant to the provisions of this chapter receives an overpayment for the third time and the overpayments have resulted from a false statement or representation by the recipient or from the failure of the recipient to notify the Bureau of a change in his or her circumstances which would affect the amount of services the person receives, a rebuttable presumption arises that the payment was fraudulently received.
