In cases like that the problem is not uniquely an SSDI fraud problem. The problem is nobody has shot him dead.
So true. Him being elected on his first attempt I can understand, him winning his reelection was pathetic because he’d already shown his Marxist/anti-American agenda.
Bernie has admitted he’s a socialist, of course that won’t prevent the LIVs from voting for the commie.
It is my understanding that they can take up to 85 percent of the money due to you if you make over a certain amount. That's theft if that is true.
My ex son-in-law went on SSDI at age 27 with a "bad back", he's 45 now and still sucking it in, all the while still working and getting paid "under the table".
Yes, I reported him, years ago to both the IRS and S.S. The IRS because he doesn't pay taxes on his "under the table" income. I gave details too, where he worked, his hours etc.......................... Nothing happened.
I'd bet that most people on this forum knows somebody like him.
Real disabled cannot walk to the office. That is pretty severe. But....a real check of who really is disabled and those who are faking it can easily be detected by looking at medical history.
People get fibromyalgia, I have it, that did not stop me from being able to work.
I remember a Judge Judy show where some guy was getting disabilty for a supposed bad back. Funny thing was he was being sued for child support because as bad as his back was supposed to be, it didn’t stop him from making 5 babies by 5 different women.
Judge Judy went after him on that and told him if he was in that good of shape that he could go to work.
It is true and and at this point there is nothing you can do about it.
“So why didnt the demoncrats fix this during the last 6 years?”
First you have to define the word “fix.” Based on what we are reading here, I’d say that they “fixed it real good” from their perspective.
Social Security Disability Fund Going Broke?
Maybe because Obama has treated the Social Security Disability program as just another back door way to loot the treasury and redistribute wealth.
He has loaded it up with people whose only claim to disability is that they drink, smoke dope, overeat, can’t pay attention, or are too chunky or too lazy to get up and go to work.
SSI is part of the SS Disability expenditures. Check out this youtube video to see what is being done to collect at about $800 a month per kid till the kid is age 18.

I can't understand why SS doesn't do the same thing. When I signed up, I was told I may be sent to a doctor periodically. It's been 7 years. Still haven't seen a doctor and no one has contacted me to see if I'm still disabled.
If SS really cared about fraud, it wound do a better job of checking up on its beneficiaries But in this administration, fraud is actively encouraged
Well, if you were truly sick - bed ridden - how would you go to pick up your check?
Oh there is, the question is am I ready to do it?
“The entitlement program has been thrust into the spotlight by a fight over the Social Security disability fund, which is expected to run dry by the end of next year. “
Yeah, it’s going broke because all the moochers who got kicked off the welfare rolls scammed their way into getting SSDI payments for fake “disabilities”.
Require an independent medical diagnosis to get on the program, and we could probably make it solvent again pretty quickly.
In addition to the normal amount of fraud on this program the numbers have skyrocketed since 2008. People got laid off and determined that they deserved income since they had paid into the fund. Doctors and lawyers, in great numbers, prostituted themselves to collude with the fakers to loot the fund.
Listening to various talkers this week including Beck, the subject matter came up about these types of payments ( on Beck in terms of a flat payment to everybody that is being discussed by "leading edge thinkers" ) the name Milton Friedman came up.
I didn't know it, but he was in favor of eliminating all these programs and giving you the cash total, but you had to apply and it was a yes or no whether you met the criteria or not. I can't imagine the criteria today would be Friedman or Reaganesque in it's liberty based philosophy. My G-d it gets worse every day don't it, everything they touch gets more fubar'd and sanfu'd as they go with no reset in site...
I’m afraid 2016 is our last chance to avoid a second American Civil War. If the Hildabeast or someone of her ilk is elected, it will be full speed ahead on waste like this until the money, and the ability to borrow money, totally runs out. Once that happens, the war will start.
And without an major alteration in course, I doubt that point is very many years away.
