Ex-HUD staffer pleads guilty to false claim over remote work
Briefly

Crissy Monique Baker, a 45-year-old former HUD employee, pleaded guilty to making fraudulent claims regarding her work hours, costing the government over $226,886. While employed by HUD, Baker worked unauthorized human resource roles for other federal agencies and submitted timesheets that claimed she worked over 24 hours in a day. Investigations revealed she reported up to 26 hours worked on multiple days. Now facing sentencing in September, she could be subject to imprisonment, fines, and restitution, amid broader scrutiny of HUD's practices by the Government Accountability Office.
Baker submitted timesheets to HUD certifying that she worked hours for the government agency that she never actually did.
Prosecutors on Monday said the ex-management and program analyst worked in human resources roles for other federal agencies without permission from HUD.
