China Grove Man Goes To Jail For Social Security Fraud

From the Salisbury, NC Post:

A China Grove man was sentenced recently to 18 months in federal prison for defrauding the Social Security Administration of $45,000 in benefits.

Alan Motley Sr., 49, was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court in Greensboro.

In addition to prison time, a judge sentenced Motley to two years of supervised release, assessed a court fee of $200 and ordered him to pay $45,186.40 in restitution to the Social Security Administration. ...

Federal officials believed Motley was working while also receiving Social Security disability benefits. He concealed his employment by working under his son's Social Security number, according to Ozella Bundy, Public Affairs officer for the Social Security Administration in Greensboro.
