Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron J. Mango, who handled the case, stated that from April 2008 to December 2012, the defendant received Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits on behalf of a family member. During that time, Nybeck falsified information that was submitted to the Social Security Administration that allowed her to continue to receive the SSI benefits. In total, the defendant fraudulently received $36,094 in benefits that she was not entitled to.
The sentencing is the culmination of an investigation on the part of Special Agents of the Social Security Administration Office of Inspector General, under the direction of Edward J. Ryan, Special Agent in Charge.
