AN ALBUQUERQUE WOMAN FACES UP TO 12 YEARS IN PRISON FOR CLAIMING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN FOOD STAMP AND MEDICAID BENEFITS TO WHICH SHE WAS NOT ENTITLED. A DISTRICT COURT JURY THIS WEEK FOUND 33 YEAR OLD JEANNIE RASBAND GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS.
PROSECUTORS SAY RASBAND CLAIMED THE BENEFITS EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS MAKING INCOME, WHICH SHE DIDN’T REPORT, AS A NAIL TECHNICIAN.
