A resident of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was sentenced in federal court 30 months of probation and ordered to pay $95,100 in restitution to the Social Security Administration (SSA) on a charge of theft of government property, United States Attorney Eric G. Olshan announced today.

United States District Judge Robert J. Colville imposed the sentence on William Moriarty, 72, of Pittsburgh’s Central Northside neighborhood.

According to information presented to the Court, Moriarty was employed and received income during the period August 2010 through May 2018 from a home healthcare company owned by a family member while also receiving disability benefits from the SSA. He repeatedly failed to inform the SSA of his employment, ensuring his receipt of at least $95,100 in disability payments to which he was not entitled.
