While most of us worry about whether we'll have enough to retire or even if Social Security will be around when we retire. Other people are trying to steal benefits they don't deserve. Sometimes it's pretty incredible how long it takes to catch up to these crooks. In the case of 77 year old Janis Miller of Essex County it took 25 years. Her aunt died in 1998 and she has been collecting disability benefits in her aunt's name all this time. U.S. Attorney Phillip Sellinger says a Social Security worker became suspicious when Miller couldn't come up with her aunt's exact birth date. She was brought before a Federal Judge in Newark yesterday. Who released her on $100,000 bond.
