法庭文件显示，2021年，Stanberry 当时全职担任美国邮政局员工，却安排提交了一份虚假的 PPP 贷款在线申请，谎称自己是自雇人士、名下企业因新冠疫情损失了收入。
凭这份虚假申请，Stanberry 拿到了20,833美元 PPP 贷款资金，而她并不符合领取资格。
Stanberry 面临的量刑是：两项罪名每一项最高可判20年监禁。按认罪协议，她已同意没收一切可没收的资产并作出赔偿。
量刑定于2026年12月3日上午9时在 Pensacola 的美国法院举行，由联邦地区法官 T. Kent Wetherell, II 主审。
联邦检察官 Heekin 表示，新冠疫情期间出现了前所未有的诈骗，不法分子借机为自己牟利、侵吞美国纳税人的钱，其办公室将不懈追查这类诈骗者。
此案由美国邮政局监察长办公室调查、美国邮政检查局协助，助理联邦检察官 Alicia H. Forbes 与 Thomas S.P. Geeker 负责起诉。
司法部表示，此案是2026年4月7日宣布成立的国家欺诈执法司相关起诉的一部分；该部门专门调查、起诉侵害美国公众的诈骗行为，并配合由副总统 J.D. Vance 领导的消除欺诈总统特别工作组，打击联邦福利项目中的欺诈、浪费与滥用。
Pensacola Postal Worker Dominique Stanberry Pleads Guilty to PPP Loan Fraud: Took $20,833 on False Self-Employment Claim
PENSACOLA, Florida — Dominique J. Stanberry, 33, of Pensacola, has pleaded guilty in federal court to two counts of wire fraud involving Small Business Administration (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan funds, United States Attorney John P. Heekin for the Northern District of Florida announced.
According to court documents, in 2021, while working full time as a United States Postal Service employee, Stanberry caused a fraudulent online PPP loan application to be submitted that falsely claimed she was self-employed with a business that lost income due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a result of the fraud, Stanberry received $20,833 in PPP loan funds to which she was not entitled.
Stanberry faces up to 20 years in prison on each count. As part of her plea agreement, she has agreed to forfeit any forfeitable assets and to pay restitution.
Sentencing is scheduled for December 3, 2026, at 9 a.m. at the United States Courthouse in Pensacola before United States District Judge T. Kent Wetherell, II.
U.S. Attorney Heekin said his office will tirelessly pursue fraudsters who abused federal benefit programs during the pandemic, adding that anyone in the Northern District of Florida who abuses or defrauds a federal benefit program should be on notice.
The case was investigated by the United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General with assistance from the United States Postal Inspection Service. Assistant United States Attorneys Alicia H. Forbes and Thomas S.P. Geeker are prosecuting the case.
The Justice Department said the prosecution is part of the work of its National Fraud Enforcement Division, created on April 7, 2026, which supports the presidential Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, a whole-of-government effort chaired by Vice President J.D. Vance to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse within federal benefit programs.
