A Philadelphia woman is accused of hiding her 3-year-old daughter’s death in order to receive government benefits.

Nakia Calicat, 38, of Philadelphia, gave birth to the girl in December of 2006 and filed for Supplemental Security Income payments in March 2007, officials said. Her daughter then died in July of 2010. The Social Security Administration (SSA) didn’t learn about her death until August of 2013 however, according to police.

SSA officials sent a notice to Calicat stating the benefits for her daughter would be terminated. In October of 2013, Calicat allegedly told an SSA employee that the girl was still alive. She then lied again about her daughter’s death to a Special Agent with the SSA Office of Inspector General in August of 2014, according to an indictment.

The indictment also states Calicat illegally received Social Security benefits on behalf of her deceased daughter, defrauding the government approximately $26,224 in the process.

Calicat is charged with ten counts of wire fraud, one count of theft of government money, two counts of false statements, and one count of Social Security representative payee fraud.

Officials have not yet revealed how Calicat’s daughter died.
