From the Tacoma News Tribune:
A federal judge sentenced a Tacoma woman convicted of Social Security fraud to 10 months in prison Friday. ...Bland, the mother of a school-age son, was awarded federal disability benefits in 1996 after she claimed a bad back and an anxiety disorder made it impossible for her to work.
But two years later, she got her state cosmetology license and started working at her mother’s beauty salon without telling the government. She also spent part of her $550 in monthly benefits at a Fife bingo parlor.
