In Somerset, New Jersey, Maria Demeter pleaded guilty to insurance fraud after she was caught lying on her auto insurance applications. She was ordered to do 50 hours community service and was placed on probation. Her lies were about living alone when she was in fact living with her husband. She lied because her husband is ineligible for company insurance and she was paying a lower premium as a single adult. She also made an insurance claim in 2010 for over $4,000 using the false information.
Demeter may have to pay almost $40,000 to the New Jersey Business and Industry Association which provides affordable Insurance to its members. She will also have to pay for court fees. Her charge was noted as 3rd degree insurance fraud and the exact amount to be charged to her will be known by February 2013.
