An Oregon man pleaded guilty this week to theft of government funds and making false statements in connection to stealing the identity of a deceased child decades ago and using it to collect retirement benefits, federal authorities said.

Lizarraga, of Gresham, Oregon, cashed in $12,509.60 from retirement benefits from the Social Security Administration he was not entitled to. He also deposited a $1,200 check he falsely obtained from the Internal Revenue Service, court documents state. Those offenses occurred from August 2017 through June 2020, court records stated.

"His work history was under his true name until 1991, after which his work history was under the false identity,” according to a plea agreement filed on June 2.He was sentenced to two years of probation on Monday, even though he was facing up to 10 years imprisonment. He paid back the Social Security Administration in full, and according to a court filing from Sept. 8, he told prosecutors he sent the IRS a check for the $1,200 he owed.
