A Marietta woman Jennifer Wynn pleaded guilty to stealing nearly $200,000 of government funds.
Wynn, 50, had been illegally receiving and cashing the Social Security checks of her deceased mother-in-law since her death in 1994, the United States Attorney’s office in Atlanta reported.
Through concealing her mother-in-law’s death, keeping her bank accounts open and forging her signature, Wynn illegally obtained a total of $195,304.
U.S. Attorney Sally Yates said in a press release Wynn will be “prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law” for stealing from a federal entitlement program.
Wynn’s sentencing before U.S. District Judge Orinda D. Evans is scheduled for August.
