A former Topeka insurance company employee has been sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison for embezzlement.
The U.S. attorney’s office says 47-year-old Erin Rebecca Thomas also was ordered to pay $215,000 in restitution.
The former Topeka woman admitted through her plea to wrongdoing while working as a service representative for American Home Life Insurance company.
Federal prosecutors say she created 22 separate fraudulent transactions. In processing the policy of a person who died in 2010, she created a fictitious change of beneficiary request naming herself as beneficiary and had the benefit check deposited in her personal account.
