Former Postal Worker Convicted of Stealing Nearly $1 Million in Tax-Free Federal Disability Benefits
Earlier today, a federal jury in Central Islip convicted Luann Middleton, a former United States Postal Service (USPS) employee, of wire fraud in connection with her repeated submission of false workers compensation forms to the United States Department of Labor (DOL), in which she claimed total disability, and thereby received approximately $40,000 per year in federal workers’ compensation benefits for nearly 25 years. The verdict followed a four-day trial before United States District Judge Gary R. Brown. When sentenced, Middleton faces up to 20 years in prison, as well as financial penalties.
