Former Guardian Convicted of Multiple Felonies in Medicaid Fraud Case

A former court-appointed guardian has been convicted of one felony count of theft and 22 counts of financial exploitation, after stealing more than $140,000 from 22 vulnerable adults across Nebraska.

Becky S. Stamp of York, Nebraska, was convicted in York County District Court on October 1, 2026, after pleading no contest to the charges. She was first charged by the York County Attorney’s Office in November 2025, when only one victim had been identified. In July 2026, the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud and Patient Abuse Unit brought additional charges after a Nebraska State Patrol investigation uncovered 21 more victims.

Judge James Stecker of the York County District Court will sentence Stamp on January 11, 2027.

The case was investigated by the Nebraska Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud and Patient Abuse Unit, along with the Nebraska State Patrol.

The Nebraska Medicaid Fraud and Patient Abuse Unit receives 75 percent of its funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under a grant award totaling $1,014,000 for the federal fiscal year (FFY) 2025. The remaining 25 percent, totaling $338,000 for FFY 2025, is funded by the State of Nebraska.
