Mandeep Purewal, aged 33, had been receiving income support and council tax benefit on the basis of her being a single mother and not working.
Instead Sandwell Magistrates' Court at Warley heard she had been doing three jobs and her husband had returned to the family home.
Mrs Maggie Meakin, prosecuting, said that Purewal had claimed £30,361.54 while working for 80 Healthcare, Sportswift and Argos.
She admitted four charges of wrongly claiming income support and council tax benefit between January and July 2007 and a five-day period in March 2008.
Purewal, of Livingstone Road in West Bromwich, also admitted three charges of making a false statement regarding her situation in October and November of 2006 and June 2007.
Purewal's defence solicitor Mr Andrew Choudhary said his client had paid almost £500 back since she had been caught.
He added: "Her husband has effectively deserted his family and only comes back for money. Over the years she has had to fend for herself.
She will appear at Wolverhampton Crown Court for sentencing on April 26 at 2pm. She was bailed unconditionally until then.
