Unknown male defrauds Social Security by collecting pensions of dead persons for over two years; CID launches investigation

An investigation has been launched into a scheme through which the
pensions of deceased persons were being collected by an unknown
man.
 
The matter was reported to the Criminal Investigations Department
(CID) by an attorney for the Social Security Scheme.
 
According to reports, the Police were advised that an unknown male
has been collecting old-age benefits for persons who are known to
be dead.
 
The offence reportedly has been taking place for about two years –
between January 31, 2021 and July 14, 2023.
 
A source says the Scheme has been experiencing challenges in
paying its beneficiaries, and condemns those persons who are
adding to the problem by collecting funds to which they are not
entitled.
