The program was administered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/program_offices\/public_indian_housing\/programs\/hcv\/vash\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bowen admitted to federal agents that he had been using his brother\u2019s identity for years, prosecutors said. Bowen had obtained a Florida identification card using his twin\u2019s identity. He initially told the agents that he and his twin had served in and been honorably discharged from the U.S. Army but later admitted that those were lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on Bowen\u2019s fraudulent use of his brother\u2019s identity, the VA provided him with $32,434 in medical services, HUD provided him with $18,905 in housing subsidies, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture funded $12,434 in nutritional benefits for him, officials said. Bowen\u2019s twin, who lives in another state, confirmed that he didn\u2019t apply for any of the benefits and that he never gave Bowen permission to use his name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wayne Bowen admitted to federal agents that he had been using his brother\u2019s identity for years, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":25531,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":19,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,23,93,12,25,19],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1351],"class_list":["post-21623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-home","category-middle-column","category-news","category-newsletters","category-veterans"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"AM6M54WXSJCCNDRSIWICYRNU3Y","arc_canonical_url":"\/veterans\/2022\/04\/26\/man-gets-2-years-for-using-twins-id-for-veterans-benefits\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
