41-year-old Dawn Johnson of Merrillan is charged with failing to disclose information to the Social Security Administration in order to fraudulently receive payments. The indictment alleges that from April 2009 to March 2010, she failed to disclose that a claimant was no longer in her custody in order to continue to receive Social Security payments. The indictment also charges her with converting Supplemental Security Income benefits to a use other than for the use and benefit of the intended recipient. The indictment alleges that Johnson converted approximately $8,088 in payments to which she was not entitled. If convicted, Johnson faces a maximum penalty of five years in Federal prison on each charge.
