Fraud In Connecticut

From the Connecticut Post:

A 62-year-old former Bridgeport resident admitted receiving nearly $11,000 in Social Security disability benefits while working at a job.

Emma Flippen, also known as Emma Jones, now of Phoenix, Ariz., pleaded guilty Monday to theft of government property. She faces up to 10 years in prison and $250,000 in fines when she is sentenced Feb. 7 by U.S. District Judge Stefan R. Underhill.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah R. Slater told the judge that Flippen used the name Emma Jones to obtain $10,967 in Social Security Title II Disability Insurance benefits between 1998 and 2002.
