Omaha Woman Sentenced for Making a False Statement to the Social Security Administration and Aggravated Identity Theft

United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced that on April 17, 2014, United States District Court Judge Joseph F. Bataillon, sentenced Tina Angela Davis-Smith, age 44, to 12 months and 1 day imprisonment following her conviction for making a False Statement to the Social Security Administration, and 24 months imprisonment to be served consecutively for Aggravated Identity Theft.  Davis-Smith was also ordered to serve a three year term of supervised release after serving her prison term.   

An investigation conducted by the Social Security Administration, Office of Inspector General, determined that in 2011 Davis-Smith made a false statement on a Social Security Administration Work Activity Report when she failed to report her previous employment.  The Work Activity Report was relied upon by the Social Security Administration to determine Davis-Smith’s continued receipt of Social Security Administration Benefits.  The investigation also determined that in 2010 Davis-Smith used the identification of another person for purposes of obtaining employment.

This case was the result of an investigation conducted by the Social Security Administration, Office of Inspector General.
