Lying To SSA Not A Good Idea

From the Cedar Rapids Gazette:

Connie L. Morris, 43, of Waterloo, was sentenced Friday in federal court in Cedar Rapids to ten months in prison for lying to the Social Security Administration.

Morris, when she pled guilty to the charge on Dec. 11, admitted she lied about whether she was married and her living arrangements when she applied for Supplemental Security Income benefits. She received more than $29,000 she wasn't entitled to.

Now she must serve the prison sentence, pay back the money and serve three years of supervised release.
