Columbus,OH(WorkersCompensation.com) - A Cleveland-area nurse was ordered to pay the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation (BWC) more than $23,000 in restitution April 7 after BWC discovered her working while collecting injured-worker benefits.
A Franklin County judge ordered Tanya Houston, 46, of Shaker Heights to pay $23,489 to BWC and serve five years of probation in lieu of a one-year prison sentence after she pleaded guilty to a fifth-degree felony count of workers compensation fraud.
“We re here to provide compensation for people who can t work because of an on-the-job injury, not supplement the income of fraudsters cheating our system,” said BWC Interim Administrator John Logue.

HANOVER COUNTY, Va. A COVID-19 vaccination clinic opened Friday in the former Food Lion store in the Ashland Junction Shopping Center in Hanover County.

The clinic will not be open daily and hours of operation will vary, depending on the week, and appointments will be required to get vaccinated, officials noted. No walk-in or drop-in vaccination opportunities are available at this time.
A new building to house the Barnstable County Cape Cod Cooperative Extension tops the list of capital improvement projects discussed by the Barnstable County Board of Regional Commissioners at their regular meeting on Wednesday, January 13.
The Cooperative Extension, a department of the county government that plans and conducts educational programs based on local needs and interests, was operated out of the basement of the Registry of Deeds in the Barnstable County Complex until moving into a leased property in Yarmouth in June 2020.
According to Michael Maguire, the extensionâs director, the lease costs the county approximately $89,000 per year.
Mr. Maguire described continuing the lease to house the department as a âlosing propositionâ for the county, as he expects leasing will become more expensive in the years to come.
