An interior designer in California ignored the first rule of making false disability claims: don't appear on TV shows.
California tax officials say 56-year-old Ronald Hunt's false claims were uncovered when he was spotted on a home improvement television show.
Hunt, of Los Angeles, was sentenced on Tuesday to 200 hours of community service and ordered to pay more than $180,000 (around £109,000) in restitution, unpaid taxes and fines. He pleaded guilty to two felony counts of fraud.
The state's Franchise Tax Board says Hunt falsely claimed he was disabled for three years and collected almost $150,000 in benefits, while earning about $400,000 in income as an interior designer.
An employee of the insurance company that was paying Hunt's benefits saw Hunt on a Home and Garden Television program and reported him to the state Department of Insurance.
