Amount - $7,260

A woman was convicted of one count felony insurance fraud after an investigation by the Department's Fraud Unit. She was sentenced to 7.5 years in prison – 1.5 years fixed and 6 indeterminate, and ordered to pay $7,260 in restitution. She applied for insurance on two separate occasions and deliberately hid the fact that she had previously been convicted for insurance fraud, which would have made her ineligible for coverage. She then filed 47 claims under the policies and collected $7,260 that she was not entitled to.
