Two Sacramento area women pled guilty to three charges of insurance fraud as a result of an investigation by the CDI Criminal Investigations Branch’s Fraud Division.
Janet Mae Gudgel, 62, and Kimberly Kay Volk, 44, surrendered to authorities on June 26 and were sentenced on Oct. 31, 2002. Gudgel was sentenced to 240 days in county jail, four years formal probation, and ordered to pay restitution of $682,222 to State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF), $45,288.80 to CalComp (of the Superior National Insurance Group), and $79,312 to CNA Insurance. Volk was sentenced to 90 days in county jail, four years formal probation and a fine of $200.
According to investigators, a former employee of Gudgel Roofing came forward to CDI and reported that Gudgel Roofing was allegedly underreporting payroll to their insurance company. The investigation revealed Gudgel Roofing had underreported payroll to three insurance carriers, SCIF, CalComp and CNA Insurance in Sacramento County from 1992 through the first quarter of 2001.
On Oct. 31, 2001, investigators interviewed Volk, the former office manager for Gudgel Roofing and she purportedly admitted to investigators that Gudgel Roofing had underreported payroll to the three insurance carriers.
