What Is Social Security Fraud?

When someone knowingly provides misleading information in order to obtain Social Security benefits, a fraud crime has occurred.

Depending on the nature of the crime, if found guilty, the penalties can involve repayment of benefits, additional fines, restitution, and possible imprisonment.

Generally speaking, the judge will determine the penalties based on the seriousness of the case at hand.

Some common situations that may lead to a criminal charge for Social Security fraud include:

  • Hiding information or life events that will affect your benefits, such as being employed, in prison, or receiving worker’s compensation
  • Failure to notify the Social Security Administration (SSA) that a recipient has died and continuing to cash checks made out to the deceased
  • Misusing benefits while acting as a representative for the beneficiary
  • Receiving benefits for a minor or dependent not under your care
  • Buying and/or selling counterfeit Social Security cards
  • Impersonating an SSA representative
  • Bribing an SSA employee
  • Making false claims

Dealing with a Social Security fraud case can be a challenge as every situation is unique and, therefore, requires a customized defense.

Barton was amazing and I could not have had the positive outcome without his guidance. His team is prompt and great to work with. He even called while out of the country on vacation, which I feel shows he went above and beyond what someone might expect from their attorney. Experienced and cares! I would highly recommend Barton!

Very professional. I came and spoke to Barton Morris about my situation and my case. I asked him if he was willing to help me. He asked about the details and my background and history. He give me a positive confidence he can help me and my odds. His price is reasonable. He’s not one of those hole in the wall lawyers who treat you as a number. You are a human being with a personal life. You treats you as a valued client no matter how big or small the case.

I had Mike Norman as my lawyer for a case. I just wanted to come on here and thank him for doing his best for me. I am grateful during this stressful time. I’ve used Barton Morris as a lawyer about 11 years ago and he was awesome which is why we came back. I do recommend!

Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful when it comes to navigating the complicated nature of cannabis businesses in Michigan. I met with Barton where he answered all my questions about the pre-qualification application, and was prompt in answering subsequent questions through email after the meeting was completed. I certainly plan to continue utilize Barton’s knowledge in the future.

Just sitting here on my balcony. A bit chilly but sunny and beautiful. I am ever so grateful to have 100% freedom. Wasn’t sure I would ever meet this day. Hiring you(and your team) was the best decision I have ever made. You are a true master of your trade. As you sit with your beautiful family on Thanksgiving know that this year I am truly thankful of my freedom and the choice to hire Barton Morris. Thanks again. I will never forget what you have done for me.
