From the Baltimore Examiner:
A woman faces welfare fraud and theft charges for allegedly lying about her marital status to collect $12,000 dollars in government benefits on behalf of her son.Ginger Kay Wilson, 44, also faces unrelated charges of dealing methamphetamine, maintaining a common nuisance and neglect of a dependent.
Brett M. Yonkus, a special agent with the Social Security Administration, said Wilson collected $12,041 between May 2005 and January of this year by falsely reporting she lived alone with her 2-year-old son.
When Wilson completed paperwork in February applying for her own disability benefits, she reportedly told a claims representative she had lived with her husband, Thomas, for seven years. The claims representative later found paperwork Wilson had filed within the same time frame for her son and noted the discrepancy.
