Two Florida residents will spend years in prison for scamming Michigan's unemployment agency.

Wickenbert Clacema was sentenced to 40 months in prison. Tamara St. Hilaire will spend two years behind bars for the scheme.

Both were charged with using other people's social security numbers to obtain unemployment benefits from the state.

They also must pay more than $160,000 in restitution.
