Omaha Man Sentenced to Prison for Making False Statements to the Social Security Administration

United States Attorney Joe Kelly announced that Larry L. Boryca, 60, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced Monday to three months’ imprisonment by Senior United States District Court Judge Laurie Smith Camp.  After his release from prison, Boryca will serve a 3-year term of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay $37,856.10 in restitution to the Social Security Administration.  A jury previously found Boryca guilty on March 18, 2019, of three counts of knowingly making false statements and representations of material fact for use by the Social Security Administration in order to receive Social Security Disability Income benefits.

An investigation conducted by the Social Security Administration’s Office of the Inspector General determined that while receiving Social Security Disability Income benefits, Boryca failed to truthfully report employment and income to the Social Security Administration.  Evidence at trial indicated that at various times while receiving Social Security Disability Income benefits, Boryca had worked and received income.  When asked about work and income on forms sent to him by the Social Security Administration in 2013 and 2015, Boryca falsely claimed that he had not worked and had not received income.

By failing to truthfully report his work activity and income to the Social Security Administration, Boryca secured continuing Social Security Disability Income payments in the amount of approximately $37,856.10 to which he was not entitled.

This case was investigated by the Social Security Administration’s Office of Inspector General.
