We recently closed a claimant fraud case involving a postal employee that stretched from 2009 to 2021. In early 2007, this employee had filed a workers’ compensation claim alleging she sprained her ankle while on the job. The Department of Labor (DOL) approved her claim and began issuing FECA benefit payments two months later. Our agents investigated the case as early as 2009, after receiving a Postal Inspection Service referral alleging the employee owned a catering business.
