Insurance Fraud Is No Laughing Matter, Costing Honest New Yorkers Millions -- ALBANY, N.Y., Feb. 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --


SUPPOSED DISABLED WOMAN HAD REASON TO BE A HAPPY CAMPER: A 56-year-old Ulster County woman suffered injuries which left her 'totally disabled' and forced her to leave her teaching position in the Kingston, NY school district in 2005, according to the NYSID. However, this same individual was arrested in October 2009 "for accepting $73,000 in workers' compensation benefits while she worked at a youth sports camp." The benefits she allegedly received under false pretenses were paid through Ulster County, whose self-insured workers' compensation plan covers Kingston School District employees.

You might want to take a peak at the Ulster County Self insurance fund.

I agree with 2:39. You are the controller. Take a look into the fund. Follow up on claims that have long term benefits for the "disabled". Should be a regular review of the status of "the disabled" individual. Certain ailments have a way of getting better thru modern medicine.
