A shameless daughter pocketed her dead mother’s monthly Social Security checks for almost 30 years, The Post has learned.
When federal agents knocked on Chiquita McCullough’s door in September 2014 to investigate the $291,313 fraud, she acted as if her mom, Rose, was simply out.
“I asked for [her] mother by name, and McCullough initially stated that her mother was not there,” Social Security Administration special agent Lori Kleinman said in Manhattan federal court papers.
“I then asked where [her] mother was, and McCullough stated that her mother died in June. I then asked what year [her] mother died, and McCullough stated that she believed it was 1990.”

Chiquita? As in the banana?
ReplyDeleteHer brother Dole was out. She called her sister Tropicanna who said her her aunt Cantalope was hanging with peanut jr. So they then called Lemonjello who said he just sawr her with tapiocca down by the store. I am not sure if she is dead or not at this point.
ReplyDeleteNow would someone tell me how in the world they expect a 66 year old women to get $291,313 to pay back to anyone? I live in the real world. Another agency not keeping up with what is going on. Social Security, Welfare, Medicare etc. fraud being committed everyday and they do not discover it until that much money is gone. No wonder the government has no money in Social Security, they are giving it to dead people.
ReplyDeleteOh so because she can't repay it the theft is acceptable?
DeleteIm Chiquita Banana and Im here to say my mommas been dead but the money gotta stay!!
ReplyDelete2:00-I feel sorry for you.The real world is a very dull and dishonest place.I'm loving the comments.Chiquita must get tired of dancing around with that bowl of fruit on her head.
ReplyDeleteThis is all a little bannanas to me lol
ReplyDelete@2:00 I don't care how they get that money back from her! Sell Everything she has - HOUSE - CLOTHES - CELL PHONES - EVERYTHING! It was ALL PURCHASED WITH MONEY SHE STOLE FROM US! That is right she stole it from YOU, Me, every taxpayer out there! I want it back! Surprised you didn't say a 66 year old BLACK woman! She was in her 30's when she started stealing it!
ReplyDeleteShe didnt lie. Mom was out. lol
ReplyDeleteSo Chiquita is on the Dole.
ReplyDeleteThe name said all we needed to know.
ReplyDelete3:56 LOL
ReplyDeleteHer social security payments can be garnished and her assets should be sold.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the problem? ? You have millions collecting SSI and haven't worked a day. Your alright with that, right? ?
ReplyDeleteYou are so correct, and then they complain about welfare, and lazy people. Go figure.
DeleteShame on Ms. McCullough is absolutely due but even greater shame on SSA who should have had checks and balances ingrained in the system to know when someone has died. Don't funeral homes or hospitals have to report the death to SSA? Even now, the article mentions that this woman was caught due to a new system in place that questions payment after 3 years of no medicare/medicaid benefits being utilized? 3 years is too long to wait nevermind 30! Come on SSA and get your act together!
