Massachusetts Man Indicted on Comp Fraud Charges

A Wilmington, Massachusetts man has been indicted on larceny and workers compensation fraud charges in connection with collecting more than $26,000 in disability benefits while he allegedly continued to work, Attorney General Maura Healey announced recently.

Jerry Keith Bull, age 49, of Wilmington, was indicted recently by a Middlesex Grand Jury on charges of Larceny over $250 by False Pretenses and Workers Compensation Fraud. He will be arraigned in Middlesex Superior Court at a later date.

The AG’s Office began investigating this matter after it was referred by the Insurance Fraud Bureau (IFB) in November 2014.

Investigation revealed that Bull suffered an injury working in a restaurant in June 2009, and began receiving temporary total disability benefits after he made a workers comp claim for medical expenses and recovery of loss wages.

In April 2010, Bull began working in a restaurant in Burlington, MA while continuing to collect benefits. During this time period, Bull allegedly intentionally made false statements regarding his wages and failed to disclose his return to work in order to continue to collect workers comp benefits.

Authorities allege that Bull fraudulently collected approximately more than $26,000 in disability benefits between April 2010 and June 2011.
