Updated 2:10 PM;
A Florida woman is facing several charges in the alleged theft of $470,000 from a federal veterans program and the state of Michigan, the Michigan Attorney General’s Office announced today.
As a fourth-time habitual offender, Sophia J. Quill, 60, would face up to life in prison if convicted of any of the nine felony counts she was charged with in front of Judge Mark A. McConnell of the Wayne County 18th District Court via Zoom on Wednesday, April 21.
Quill allegedly worked with two co-conspirators in a scheme to defraud the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Michigan Department of Treasury by creating aliases and fabricating documents to make it appear that she and co-conspirator Melissa Flores were heirs to various individuals who died.

DETROIT – A second, smaller round of stimulus checks are due to most Americans after President Trump signed off on a $900 billion coronavirus relief bill last weekend.
This round will be $600 compared to $1,200 earlier this year. A bill passed by the House on Monday could increase the payments to $2,000, but it faces an uphill battle in the Senate. If it were to pass, it would be added on top of the $600 payment, as a separate payment. (You’d get another payment of $1,400).
