Stratford woman sentenced for misuse of veteran's benefits
David B. Fein, U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that Ellen Pack, 64, of Broadbridge Road, Stratford, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in Bridgeport to 2 months in prison, followed by 2 years of supervised release.
Pack was convicted of stealing U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs disability benefits while acting as a fiduciary for an incompetent military veteran. Hall also ordered her to spend the first 3 months of her term of supervised release in home confinement and to pay a $2,000 fine.
According to documents and statements made in court, Pack in 2006 and 2007 served as a fiduciary for a military veteran who was a patient at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in West Haven. As part of her fiduciary duties, Pack received funds from the Veterans Affairs department meant to be used solely for the veteran’s care and benefit.
Instead, Pack used significant portions of the monthly benefit payments, totaling more than $30,000, to pay for various items and expenses for her own use.
On July 27, 2010 Pack pleaded guilty to one count of misappropriating U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs disability benefits.
This matter was investigated by Special Agents of the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General. The case was prosecuted by Asst. U.S. Attorney Douglas P. Morabito.
