Ogallala man accused of lying to Social Security

OGALLALA, Neb. (AP) – A 57-year-old Ogallala man has been indicted by a federal grand jury that alleges he lied to the Social Security Administration. The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Hap Staman faces two charges: fraud and making false statements to a U.S. agency. A news release from the office says that in 2007, Staman didn’t provide information that would have disqualified him from continuing to receive disability payments. It also says that in December 2010, Staman lied on a Social Security form so he could continue to receive the payments. Staman faces five years on each charge. Staman did not immediately return a call Wednesday from The Associated Press. Online court records don’t list the name of his attorney.
