Soc. Security Notes
•Criminal violation of laws affecting entitlement to social security payments can result in imprisonment of heavy fines," Mrs, Hazel F. Daly, District Manager of the Social Security office in Winchester, Va., warned today. Mrs. Daly called attention to the sentences imposed on April 22, 1964 in Salisbury, N. C., on Mr. Harry E. Honeycutt and his wife Mrs. Ruth Benfield Honeycutt. Honeycutt was sentenced to .serve four months in prison. Mrs. Honeycutt was sentenced to one year in prison but the sentence was suspended and she was placed on probation for five years. The couple pleaded guilty to giving false statements in connection with an application for monthly benefits filed on behalf of Lizzie Mae Benfield, Mrs. Honeycutt's stepmother, and to concealing the death of the stepmother who had been dead several weeks at the time the application was filed." Mrs. Daly said the Social Security Administration has the duty of detecting any fraud that may exist at any stage of the claims operation and of recommending pro s e c u t i o n when the facts justify it. Mrs. Daly added that the majority of claims are free from fraud because processes and procedures used by the Administration have been effective in keeping to a minimum the payment of benefits to those not entitled to them."
