The DOJ reported that Moses also admitted that she, as a designated representative payee for Social Security benefits, failed to use funds for the benefit of the Social Security recipients, but used them for her own benefit.

Moses agreed to provide full restitution on all of the charges against her in the indictment and will have a hearing to determine the total amount of the fraud and losses.

Moses faces up to 10 years in federal prison for health care fraud, 20 years in federal prison for wire fraud and up to 10 years in federal prison for theft of government funds.

Moses’ sentencing is scheduled for May 4.
