Prosecutors say she siphoned funds from May 2017 until April this year, and now faces up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and full restitution. This case is a chilling reminder: reporting deaths to Social Security isn’t just bureaucratic—it’s about protecting public funds and avoiding serious legal consequences.
