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.
