In federal court, a Massachusetts woman was charged with allegedly siphoning funds from the government and pensions of a deceased person in 2019.
After her first appearance in front of U.S. magistrate judge Jennifer C. Boal, the Office of the Inspector General announced that Gina M. Cummings (60) had been charged with a single count of fraud against a bank and was released under conditions.

Cummings has been accused of running an elaborate scheme over a period of more than five year after the death in August 2019 a Social Security pensioner and beneficiary.
Cummings, according to investigators, allegedly took money from the account by forging 84 checks in the name of the deceased beneficiary to make recurring payments.
The prosecution alleges that between January 2020 and July 2025 Cummings received and accessed funds which should have ended after the death of the beneficiary, collecting a total of $111,853 from Social Security payments, private pensions and COVID economic impact payments.
Cummings could face a sentence up to 30 years behind bars, 5 years of supervision and fines of $250,000.
The federal prosecutors stress that this is only an allegation, and Cummings will be presumed innocent until he is proven to have committed a crime beyond reasonable doubt.
