REPEATING from the article:

Dozens of administrative law judges grant disability payments to almost everyone who appears before them, overriding Social Security staff who determined the people were not entitled to payments, a Daily Wire analysis found.

One of the Social Security Administration’s “regional chief administrative law judges,” Jennifer M. Horne, who leads the San Francisco hearing office, ruled in every case she heard last year that the claimant should be granted disability payments, even though in each case, two previous examinations had found the claimant should be denied.

Ronald Herman, hearing cases outside of Detroit, green lit payments in 95% of the 1,268 cases he heard.

Jan Leventer, hearing cases in Queens and Detroit, approved 94% of 2,159 cases, potentially amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars.

I’d like to know the net worth of such judges, and see how they survive an IRS audit.

Ss which runs long term disability.

It should not be routine to have to hire an attorney to fight for three years to get the insurance you were forced to pay premiums for. Sure, do some due diligence to make sure it’s not a fraud. No one is successfully faking leukemia and bone marrow transplants at reputable hospitals for heavens sake.

They count on the sick and exhausted with no support to give up.

Leave an envelope with the clerk and you will not get any questions. DEI hires live on this.

“In 2013, then-Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) noted that administrative law judge hearings were one-sided affairs where applicants pleaded their case without anyone representing the taxpayer.”

Shouldn’t the judges be representing the taxpayer? Who are they representing — God?

These are obviously REPARATIONS judges who need to be booted... Or they have lifetime appointments because they belong to Le Club Federale?

Eric C. Conn, a former attorney, orchestrated the largest Social Security fraud scheme in U.S. history, costing the government an estimated $550 million. His scheme involved bribing doctors and a judge to approve fraudulent disability claims, allowing him to collect millions in legal fees. After pleading guilty in 2017 and being sentenced to 12 years in prison, Conn fled by cutting off his ankle monitor, sparking a six-month international manhunt. He was eventually captured in Honduras in December 2017 and extradited to the U.S..

As a result of his escape, Conn’s sentence was extended by an additional 15 years, bringing his total prison term to 27 years. He is currently incarcerated at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, with a scheduled release date of November 2039. His fraudulent activities also led to significant hardships for his former clients, many of whom had their disability benefits revoked or underwent extensive re-evaluations.

Yes, Eric C. Conn is currently in prison. He is serving a 27-year sentence for his role in orchestrating the largest Social Security fraud scheme in U.S. history. As of recent updates, he is incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Fort Dix in New Jersey, with a scheduled release date of November 2039.

That's just great. When my late wife was diagnosed with a terminal illness and given 6 months to live SS gave her $900 a month in benefits - starting in 6 months. She died in 5.

At least they gave me a couple hundred for the funeral.

Thanks, RB it’s been 15 years but whenever I hear about SS I remember they ripped her off.
