Oklahoma City – ANTIGANEE TRIPLET, 39, from Oklahoma City, has been sentenced by United States District Judge Robin J.

According to Court records and information from the plea and sentencing hearings, Triplet claimed she was disabled and received SSA disability benefits from January of 2009 through January 2012.

Triplet was charged on January 8, 2013, and pled guilty on January 23, 2013, to illegally receiving Social Security disability benefits she was not entitled to receive. Judge Cauthron ordered Triplet to serve five years’ probation and pay $13, 155.51 in restitution to SSA.

This case was the result of an investigation conducted by the Social Security Administration Office of Inspector General and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Maxfield Green.
