The city's Department of Investigation says Shanel Nadal and her husband John Payne pocketed benefits for which they weren't eligible. Payne's brother is also charged.
All three were arrested as of late Wednesday. It wasn't immediately clear if they were still in custody.
Authorities said Nadal slipped out of a supervised visited at a Queens foster care agency with her sevens sons and infant daughter then left town with her husband. Police at the time identified him as Nephra Payne.
Nadal and Payne each got 60 days in jail for custodial interference.
