A West Seneca, N.Y., bill collector faces charges of forgery and grand larceny for cashing her deceased mother’s workers’ compensation checks.

Robin E. Kassirer, 31, was arrested Oct. 13 after an investigation by the New York State Insurance Department’s Frauds Bureau and North Tonawanda, N.Y., police. Kassirer allegedly endorsed and cashed four checks mailed to her mother by Hartford Insurance, totaling $1,600.  Kassirer’s mother died in February.

Kassirer was released from custody pending further court action, according to the department.
