SSA Employee Indicted

     From a press release:
U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite announced that MICHAELLE MARTINEZ, age 38, of Marrero, was indicted today for Theft of Government Funds.
According to the Superseding Indictment, MARTINEZ identified beneficiaries who were entitled to receive retroactive or back payments from the Social Security Administration (“SSA”).  MARTINEZ would change the recipient’s deposit information and would divert the SSA money bank accounts controlled by the defendant.  MARTINEZ then changed the deposit information back before the beneficiaries would notice a problem. ...
If convicted, MARTINEZ faces a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment, followed by up to three years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine.

I would just like the SSA to take a complaint and then give back to the beneficiaries as to what was stolen by employees like Michaelle. Trying to get a complaint and results is like trying to read and understand what the above commentator wrote.

I'm curious if SSA is liable for Martinez's actions under FTCA.

No - intentional torts are not covered.

Ah, I was afraid of that.

Funny. The last employee to do this has been indicted but is still out and has all his property. Makes you wonder how successful the USAO and OIG are in pursuing these cases.
