冒领他人社保金四年多、近 6.8 万美元：宾州 65 岁男子遭联邦起诉
联邦大陪审团已起诉宾夕法尼亚州庞克瑟托尼市 65 岁男子乔治·格里斯特，指控他涉嫌盗窃政府财产：从 2021 年 4 月到 2025 年 7 月，他把本该属于另一个人的 50 多笔社保福利款、合计约 68,048 美元据为己有。 案件由西宾夕法尼亚联邦检察官办公室公布，社保局监察长办公室侦办。起诉书只列他一名被告；若罪名成立，最高可判 10 年监禁、25 万美元罚款，实际量刑依联邦量刑指南与案情轻重而定。检方提醒，起诉不等于有罪，被告在被定罪之前推定无罪。 此案经由司法部今年 4 月新设的"全国欺诈执法司"发布，该机构专责福利欺诈执法。（据司法部公告）
Pennsylvania Man Indicted for Taking $68K in Another Person's Social Security Benefits
A federal grand jury has indicted George Grist, 65, of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, for theft of government property. Prosecutors allege that from April 2021 to July 2025 he took more than 50 Social Security benefit payments meant for another person — about $68,048 in total. The case was announced by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania and investigated by the Social Security Administration's Office of the Inspector General. Grist is the sole defendant; if convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, with the actual sentence guided by federal sentencing guidelines. Prosecutors note an indictment is not proof of guilt. The announcement came through the Justice Department's National Fraud Enforcement Division, created in April to focus on benefit fraud.
