Description: Davenport, Iowa Social Security fraud criminal defense lawyer represented defendant who failed to reveal events affecting the receipt of Social Security Benefits.
Walkesha Shavon Jamison, age 41, of Coralville, Iowa was charged with Concealment of Events Affecting Social Security Benefits.
This investigation began in 2017 when the Social Security Administration (SSA) learned Jamison obtained employment in 2015, which she failed to report while she was receiving government benefits. This employment information, coupled with a psychiatric analysis, was inconsistent with Jamison’s reports of disability to SSA. An investigation concluded Jamison fraudulently obtained the diagnoses upon which her benefits were premised and SSA officially terminated the benefits in 2018. Further, Jamison obtained benefits from the Iowa City Housing Authority, which were funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Jamison obtained these benefits partially as a result of her fraudulent SSA disability claim and through other false statements. In total, the loss amount to these federal programs attributed to Jamison was $193,355.40.
This matter was investigated by the Social Security Administration. This case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
