A Southield woman has been sentenced to 34 months in prison for a COVID-19 fraud scheme, officials said.
In a plea agreement, Mykia King, 29, was sentenced in federal court in Detroit on Aug. 10. She pleaded guilty in January to one count of wire fraud related to her submitting 34 bogus claims for pandemic unemployment assistance, and one count of aggravated identity theft for using stolen personal identity information to further her scheme, officials said.
According to the plea agreement, King filed fraudulent unemployment insurance claims under names of multiple people and used adulterated driver's license photos and social security cards to do so. The funds were typically loaded onto Bank of America debit cards and mailed to addresses controlled by King, who would then withdraw the funds — usually at ATMs. One of the fake claims, filed in 2020, netted her approximately $11,880.
