Rocky Hill Woman Accused of Fraudulently Collecting Over $12K in Unemployment Benefits

A Rocky Hill woman is accused of fraudulently collecting more than $12,000 in unemployment benefits, according to the state’s Division of Criminal Justice.

Sylwia Bagan, 37, was arrested and charged with one count of first-degree larceny by defrauding a public community and one count of unemployment compensation fraud. Investigators said she under-reported her wages so she could collect unemployment benefits. She collected $12,363 from January 2012 to December 2013.

Bagan was arrested by inspectors from the Unemployment Compensation Fraud Unit in the Office of the Chief State’s Attorney. She was released on a $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in New Britain superior court on Friday.
