An Indianapolis woman allegedly used stolen Social Security numbers and a stolen Licensed Practical Nurse number to obtain jobs she wasn’t qualified for while collecting over $50,000 in fraudulent Social Security benefits.
INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis woman could face up to five years in prison for allegedly using stolen Social Security numbers and a stolen Licensed Practical Nurse number to obtain jobs she wasn’t qualified for while collecting over $50,000 in fraudulent Social Security benefits.
Officials say Perry used a stolen Social Security number on all five applications. She was receiving Social Security disability insurance benefits under her true Social Security number, and she knew that those benefits would be reduced or eliminated if the Social Security Administration found out she had a job.
Of the five job applications, four were for LPN positions. Perry applied for those positions despite not having a nursing license.
