A Buffalo contractor faces felony fraud charges for allegations that he worked as a roofer while receiving workers compensation benefits.
According to Buffalo Business First, the owner of Independent Contractors Inc. was taken into custody last month, charged with offering a false instrument for filing, grand larceny and insurance fraud.
According to a press release from the New York State Insurance Fund, he allegedly hid work as a roofer from the state.
Investigators from the Division of Confidential Investigations said the man applied for workers comp insurance as a siding contractor. But after one of his employees filed another claim with NYSIF in a fall from a roof, the investigation revealed Independent Contractors has allegedly done roofing work since 2007.
The owner allegedly defrauded NYSIF of more than $3,400 during that time to pay a lower premium as a siding company for his workers comp insurance
