The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Nov. 9 that Katrina McCant of Baltimore, Maryland, was sentenced in federal court the same day.

McCant, 41, was a former insider at a Maryland Department of Labor (MD-DOL) contractor. Prosecutors said she schemed to fraudulently obtain unemployment insurance (UI) claim benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic.

U.S. District Judge Julie R. Rubin sentenced McCant to four years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
