Employer Pension Frauds 

Employers can commit pension fraud in many different ways. There can be fundamental misrepresentations made about if they have funded pensions, miscalculation of employees’ pension benefits can occur, and they can mismanage pension investments that cause detrimental losses to pension funds. One of the more severe kinds of employer pension fraud that has occurred is when the employer borrows funds from employees’ pension funds to cover losses in the company’s business.

Nursing Home Pension Frauds 

Nursing home patients who are no mentally sound can be subject to pension fraud schemes where the income they receive from their pension is put into a separate trust account to cover their monthly expenses by staff from the nursing home. This has created many opportunities for nursing home employees to mismanage these trust funds and steal funds from the residents of nursing homes.

Veterans Vulnerable to Pension Fraud 

Veterans have a risk of falling prey to pension fraud from unsolicited phone calls marketing veteran pension fund management services to veterans over 65 years of age. What these veterans fail to realize is that complimentary advice is available from accredited Veteran’s organizations. Another form of fraud that can occur with Veteran pensions is individuals who help Veterans obtain pensions that aren’t eligible for them, which results in the Veteran having to pay a substantial fine to the government that they typically cannot afford.

Pension Fraud Mismanagement
