Binghamton Woman Sentenced for Social Security Fraud
A Binghamton woman has been sentenced to five probation for collecting her deceased husband’s Social Security benefits on Wednesday.
Patricia L. Williams, 63, of Binghamton, was sentenced to 5 years of probation following a 4-day trial in October 2018 where a jury voted to convict her.
According to U.S. Attorney Grant C. Jacquith, the defendant’s husband passed away in 1990 but the Social Security Administration was never notified of his death.
SSA continued to deposit his benefits into his account monthly until 2013. Williams withdrew and spent the money knowing she was not entitled to the money.
From 2008 to 2015, the defendant applied for and received Supplemental Security Income (SSI), concealing that she was taking her deceased husband’s benefits. SSI is a needs-based program, available to elderly, blind, and disabled individuals, that provides money to pay for living expenses.
Senior United States District Judge Thomas J. McAvoy also ordered Williams to pay restitution to the SSA in the amount of $32,581.00.
This case was investigated by the SSA Office of the Inspector General, New York Field Division, and was prosecuted by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason W. White.

Police Investigating Home Invasion Robbery, Suspects Dressed As Utility Workers
Binghamton Police are looking for two suspects involved in a home invasion robbery of an apartment on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Around 8:05 p.m. Sunday evening, police responded to reports of a home invasion robbery at 80 Pennsylvania Avenue Apartment #1.

The suspects then forced themselves in and physically assaulted the victim and bound her with duct tape.

According to Binghamton Police, the suspects stole property from the apartment before fleeing the area by foot.

The investigation is ongoing anyone with information is urged to contact the Binghamton Police Detective Division at 607-772-7080.
Binghamton Unveils City’s First Zero-Emission Cars
The city of Binghamton unveiling its newest cars on Thursday.
Mayor Rich David said two aging vehicles will be replaced by zero-emission electric cars funded by a state Clean Energy Communities grant.
“We had a great opportunity through the grant we received through NYSERDA and, of course, the grant we received was part of the city’s designation as a clean energy community.
So when we receive that designation by the state of New York for completing a variety of clean energy projects, we also receive grant money and we work with the state on how we are going to utilize that grant money,” said David.
“$50,000 of that went towards the purchase of these two zero-emission fully electric vehicles. The other remaining $200,000 went towards matching a clean energy grant for businesses in the community,” David adds.
The total cost of the two vehicles was $53,056. While the grant from NYSERDA covered $50,000 of the cost, the remaining $3,056 will be covered by a rebate from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
“So the dollars we are getting, we are reinvesting in the city and in services,” David said.
“These new electric vehicles will reduce the City’s emissions and help promote green alternatives, while also saving taxpayer dollars that would have gone toward replacing two aging City cars,” the mayor added.
The vehicles will be used by the city’s Planning Department.
In 2017, Binghamton became the first city in the Southern Tier that NYSERDA designated as a Clean Energy Community.
The city did this by completing four out of ten “high impact actions” required by NYSERDA to be certified.
The designation came with a $250,000 grant, using $50,000 for the vehicles. The remaining $200,000 will fund a new 50/50 Clean Energy Community matching fund to support residential and commercial projects in Binghamton.
