Nolte, a licensed physician assistant, falsified her medical records to file for and receive disability benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

She then used the fraudulently obtained disability status to have $242,528 in federal student loans discharged — converting a stolen benefit into a second, larger one.

The case was investigated by the VA OIG, the FBI and the Department of Education OIG. Chief U.S. District Judge Thomas S. Kleeh presided.
