A Butler woman will spend the next 30 months on probation after committing social security fraud.
The Department of Justice says 54-year-old Amy Lynn Snow was sentenced in a federal court earlier this week on theft of government funding charges.
The DOJ says from 2013 through 2017, Snow falsely reported to the Social Security Administration that her spouse was not a member of her household because it would impact her social security income benefits.
The total theft amounted to just over $45,000.
In addition to probation, Snow will also have to complete 150 hours of community service and a $1,000 fine.
