CONCORD - The Attorney Generals Office announced on Monday that a Milton Mills woman pleaded guilty to one count of unemployment compensation fraud Thursday in Strafford County Superior Court.

According to testimony heard in court, between Sept. 9, 2017 and March 17, 2018, Allison Roy knowingly failed to disclose her employment and earnings to the Department of Employment Security in order to obtain or increase her unemployment compensation benefits. Evidence showed that on 26 occasions she submitted a weekly continued claim form and answered "No" to the question: "Did you work or perform any services, including self-employment last week? Regardless of whether or not you have been paid for the work or services."

As a result, Roy fraudulently received $6,820.00 in unemployment benefits.

Roy was sentenced to 12 months in the House of Corrections, all deferred for a period of 12 months, then suspended for two years, conditioned on good behavior, the payment of restitution and penalty totaling $12,810.00, and the use of her likeness in the Department of Employment Security Benefits and Rights Interview, which discusses the ramifications of committing unemployment fraud. She is disqualified from receiving unemployment compensation benefits for 52 weeks.
