New York State Insurance Fund CEO/Executive Director David Wehner reported that Jose Giron, 28, of Brentwood, New York pleaded guilty to felony charges of attempted grand larceny and fraudulent insurance practices. Giron was sentenced to time served in jail and a three-year conditional discharge. He paid $4,800 restitution.
According to authorities, Giron had reported a work-related injury to his right hand and back while working as a warehouse clerk in June, 2001. He was receiving $200 a week in workers’ compensation from NYSIF.
Giron was reportedly found to be working as a warehouseman since May, 2006 while denying to NYSIF that he was employed. He had unlawfully received $4,800 in compensation payments prior to his arrest in January, 2008.
In this case, the potential future savings to NYSIF is $171,529 in benefits that would have been paid to Jose Giron had the fraud not have been discovered.
Giron also signed an agreement with NYSIF ending his workers’ comp claim.
