Comp fraud makes a splash

A Watervliet, New York, woman was found swimming in workers compensation fraud after claiming she attended $26,983 worth of aquatic therapy at her local YMCA over seven years.

Eunice Ting pleaded guilty to defrauding the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Workers’ Compensation Program, and will be sentenced in August, according to CBS 6 in Albany.

The DOL’s investigation found that between December 2013 and March 2020 she submitted “hundreds of materially false and fraudulent forms” to the federal comp insurance program, the station reported.
