Someone used her Social Security number, she almost lost Medicaid coverage
A Mesa woman's Medicaid coverage was jeopardized after someone used her Social Security number to report fake income from an oil field job in Texas. Corina, who has been on disability since 1999, filed police and federal reports but struggled with bureaucratic hurdles to prove her identity theft until media intervention secured her benefits.
