A 66-year-old woman from Cambridge is accused of stealing Social Security and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits totaling nearly $200,000 in a scheme that began in 1993, the U.S. Attorney’s office announced.
Shirley Buchanan was indicted on one count of theft of public funds and three counts of wire fraud. She is scheduled to make an initial appearance before U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Jennifer Boal on Monday, the same day she was arrested.
Buchanan, authorities said, maintained and used two Social Security numbers under two names to apply for and receive Social Security and SNAP benefits that she was not entitled to.
