She's an honest person, but hasn't reported him. He literally lives across the road from the local Social Welfare Office and they don't seem to have noticed that he's able-bodied, and as such should be out looking for work if he was genuinely unemployed, and that he goes to work everyday!
The system is wide open to fraud and, IMHO, the benefits are too high - he would have to earn a lot more than he is capable of to equal what he is receiving in benefits.

And then there's Sinn Fein Sean agus Nua leader Caoimhghin O Caolain (Cavan-Monaghan), who, being resident in a border area and basking in the reflected glory of his cousin the republican icon Fergal O'Hanlon, killed with Sean South by policemen they were trying to murder is regarded in the North as a draft-dodger.
Sleeveen as he is known to the many people who can't bear his pomposity defrauded Social Welfare of about €20,000 between 1986 and 1991 by declaring his teacher wife to be a dependent.

I am not jealous of her (i dont even know her). My mum is very friendly with her as she often babysits for her. She is not in any back to work scheme, as she has never worked she is 18 years old.
