A couple in Rapid City, South Dakota was indicted in federal court on the week beginning with Sunday, December 16 for allegedly lying to the government in order to receive fraudulent Social Security benefits for disability.
According to the indictment, Lonnie Holloman has been the recipient of $123,333 in fraudulent Social Security Disability Income since he sustained an injury to his back in 1991. However, according to prosecutors, he worked full-time as a truck driver for Doug Faul Trucking Company between 1998 and 2001. After that period, he worked for Holloman Trucking Company, which belongs to his wife.
In 2001, Margaret Holloman began the company and hired her husband as a full-time long-haul truck driver from the time he left Doug Faul Trucking until at least July of 2006. According to the indictment, during the time he worked for her, she allegedly paid him only $500 per month so that he would continue to receive disability checks from the SSA.
Before she began Holloman Trucking Company, Margaret Holloman was a bookkeeper for Doug Faul Trucking.
On Thursday, December 27, both of the defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges of theft, fraud, and conspiracy. They were released without posting bond.
Cheaters like Mr. Holloman make it difficult for legitimate claimants to get an objective hearing.
