Amtrak Employee Enters into a Pre-Trial Diversion Agreement

An Amtrak train attendant based in Chicago, Illinois, entered into a Pre-Trial Diversion Agreement on October 7, 2025, with the United States Attorney’s Office and the United States District Court where she agreed to a period of 18 months of supervised release and restitution of $30,933. Our investigation found that the employee applied for and received two Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans for economic losses resulting from the pandemic related to self-employment or a business she allegedly owned. The loan applications included false statements and information, resulting in receipt of $25,833 to which she was not entitled.
