Employer Accused of Workers’ Comp Fraud: A federal grand jury in Los Angeles indicted Glenn Russell Miller of Costa Mesa, the operator of two temporary employment agencies, on four counts of mail fraud in connection with an alleged workers’ compensation fraud. Federal prosecutors say Miller underpaid his workers’ compensation premiums by, among other things, under-reporting the size of his work force and misrepresenting the type of work they performed. Prosecutors said they believe that the case is the first federal prosecution of an employer for alleged workers’ compensation fraud. Miller operated Safeway Staffing in Bell Gardens and Sunbelt Services in Los Angeles.
