The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Pittsburgh reports a New Castle woman has pleaded guilty to charges in federal court with defrauding Social Security. 37 year old Shawna Stetler pleaded guilty to three counts before United States District Judge Marilyn J. Horan. Federal Authorities say Stelter failed to disclose that her husband was part of her household, and, as a result, received nearly 27 thousand dollars in Supplemental Security Income benefits to which she knew she was not entitled, from June of 2014 to September of 2016. Sentencing has been set for December 17th. The law provides for a total sentence of 20 years in prison, a fine of $750,000, or both.
