Texas Mutual Insurance Company reported that Roger Gilbreth pleaded guilty to workers’ compensation fraud-related charges. The 390th District Court sentenced Gilbreth to two years deferred probation and 120 hours of community service. The court also ordered Gilbreth to pay a $200 fine and pay back the $8,974.68 in benefits he fraudulently obtained from Texas Mutual. Gilbreth allegedly suffered an on-the-job injury while working for Fabstar Inc. Texas Mutual began paying him supplemental income benefits (SIBs) because he claimed the injury prevented him from returning to work. Meanwhile, Gilbreth apparently accepted a job in Arkansas but did not notify Texas Mutual of his employment, as state law requires. He continued to claim he was earning no wages and collected SIBs. The The Travis County District Attorney’s office prosecuted the case.
