What is "clean sheeting?"

“Clean-sheeting” is the practice whereby an individual, alone or in conjunction with a third party, commits fraud in the life insurance policy application process. The fraud may be making untrue, false, deceptive or misleading statements in order to obtain a life insurance policy (Such as an AIDS patient stating “NO, I never have had AIDS, or been told I have HIV infection”) or to obtain lower policy premiums (as when a 5’ 2” 300 pound smoker says “I do not smoke, and I am 6’ 2” and weigh 180 pounds”), or omitting to state a material fact (“The reason for my low weight is loss of both legs to diabetes”) to having an imposter take the medical exam for the insured.
