The family of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the late bombing suspect who planted two simultaneous bombs at the Boston Marathon on April 15, had reportedly collected over $100,000 in welfare benefits until 2012.

The range of benefits the family of Tsarnaev reportedly received include cash, food stamps and Section 8 housing. The benefits were received throughout an 11-year-period, from 2002 to 2012.

According to Inquisitr, a person who has knowledge of documents of the welfare payments said, "The breadth of the benefits the family was receiving was stunning,' said a person with knowledge of documents handed over to a legislative committee today."

The welfare payments made out to Tsarnaev is currently being investigated by a committee of the state legislature.

The payments made out to the Tsarnaev family who had arrived to the states with a political refugee status were provided by the Department of Transitional Assistance.

On top of the payments received for being a refugee in the country, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his wife Katherine Russell and their 3-year-old daughter Zahara also received welfare. Tamerlan reportedly did not work nor provide much for his family.

Tamerlan, 26, and Dzhokhar, 19, two ethnic Chechen brothers from southern Russia, are accused of planting two bombs near the marathon finish line last week. Tamerlan was killed in a shootout with police on April 18.

Dzhokhar was captured on April 19 after he was found hiding in a tarp-covered boat in a suburban Boston backyard. He faced serious injuries - specifically a gunshot wound to his throat - and is hospitalized. He was charged last week with using a weapon of mass destruction with intent to kill. A probable cause hearing was set for May 30 in U.S. District Court and he could face the death penalty.
