She does not declare the death of her mother and pockets her retirement money for 22 years

In France, the daughter of a retired woman from Marseille defrauded the pension fund from 1993 to 2016. Over a period of 22 years, she has cashed 756 USD per month, for a total of 200 000 USD.

It all started in 1993 when the mother died at the age of 79. The family declared the death at the town hall but fails to inform the pension insurance fund. The girl who had access to the deceased's bank account continued unscrupulously to collect the money until the day everything was unveiled.

According to the procedures of the pension organization, the file of a person who reaches the age of 85 is re-examined to detect possible frauds. In the case of the deceased, the control should have taken place in 1999, but it is not until August 2015 that the file was studied. The agent realized that no recent reimbursement of treatment or medical treatment was recorded. Doubt settled and the fund suspended its payments and a deep investigation was conducted.

On April 10, 2018, the defrauder was taken into custody. Today, she is sued for concealing death and for forgery . According to the law, the monthly payments made beyond the date of death can be claimed by the pension fund.
