Georgia police allege that the Arceneauxs never informed the California State Teachers' Retirement System that her mother died, and then allegedly faked documents to give the impression that she was still alive.
Georgia police have arrested an 87-year-old woman and her 89-year-old husband after she allegedly stole more than $1 million from her deceased mother's pension payments over the course of a decade, according to court documents.
Police said that Arceneaux began allegedly forging documents in May 2018 and submitted fraudulent proof-of-life forms to continue receiving her mother's pension payments.
According to the arrest warrant, which was issued on December 10, Arceneaux's mother retired from her teaching job and moved to California in 1991, and died in June 2010.
Mary Ann Arceneaux’s mother died in 2010, but she allegedly fabricated documents suggesting she was still alive.
