restricted from his home as a result of the hurricane. Majewski also stated that his primary residence was 2232 North Rampart St, New Orleans, LA 70117. 4. As a result of this claim, on September 9, 2005, FEMA electronically transferred $2,000 to Majewski's Bank of America account. Majewski admitted that he did receive the electronic funds transfer in the amount of $2,000 from FEMA. 5. In July of 2005, Majewski applied for Supplemental Security Income ("SSI") from the Social Security Administration in which he listed a residence address of 4241 18th Street, San Francisco, CA, and began receiving SSI payments in August of 2005. 6. On August 11, 2006, Special Agents Jonathan Haydon and Virgil Kayl of the Social Security Administration Office of the Inspector General interviewed Majewski in Majewski's home. During this interview and in a subsequent signed written statement submitted on August 21, 2006, Majewski admitted that he did not live in New Orleans at the time of Hurricane Katrina and his application was entirely false. Majewski stated that he had moved from New Orleans, Louisiana, to San Francisco, California, during the first week of July of 2005, and was therefore not in New Orleans at the time of Hurricane Katrina. Further, Majewski stated that he reported his move to California to the Social Security Administration and began receiving payments in California from the Social Security Administration in August of 2005. 7. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. Executed October 4, 2007 at San Francisco, California.
