BOISE â On Wednesday, April 21, Evaleen Keim, also known as Evaleen Grimes, pleaded guilty to insurance fraud in violation of Idaho Code 41-293(1)(c).
Grimes was approved for a substantial long-term disability through October 18, 2017, after encountering injuries from getting bucked off a horse. When Grimes returned to work on May 30, 2017, she failed to inform the insurance company providing her disability coverage from the accident.
The insurance company asked Grimes on two separate occasions if she was working, and she stated she was not working both times. Grimes case was referred to the Investigations Unit at the Idaho Department of Insurance and consequently admitted to department investigators that she lied about going back to work in order to continue getting disability checks to cover financial needs. On Feb. 20, Grimes appeared before Judge C. Nye in Canyon County and pleaded guilty.

Former Pasco Man Charged in Idaho Insurance Fraud
A former Pasco resident is facing at least $17,000 in restitution, and likely probation after he created a dummy company to defraud an insurance carrier.
According to the Idaho Department of Insurance, Benjamin C. Beckett, (age not given) had moved from Pasco to Latah County, Idaho to care for his father.
Authorities didn t say when the issues began, but said Beckett moved there to help his father who had been assaulted to the point where he required outside care; his disabilities kept him from taking care of himself.
According to Idaho Insurance officials, Beckett s father s longterm care insurance policy did not provide funds for family members who have to offer long term care.
