Seven people have been arrested in New York for defrauding the state’s largest workers compensation insurance carrier of more than $600,000. According to reports, the people arrested include a correctional officer who was claiming workers comp while working as a bouncer, a business using forged insurance documents, and a company owner who was under-reporting the number of people on his paid staff.

Fraud committed against workers compensation insurance carriers is a felony, and it is an expensive drain on the resources of a state that is having serious financial problems.
