This has to stop!
Good God.
This needs to be distributed.
If this has happened to one disabled veteran, you know it has happened to more.
Very good point. Don’t keep them in the same place.

This sounds highly inappropriate.
Surely the GOP will do nothing.
“Here’s a clue....if you get a disability check, a social security check, etc. Open up a separate account at a separate bank from the bank you use for savings, checking, etc. It isn’t fool proof, but it gives you enough time to do electronic panicking/withdrawal if you see evidence of this.”
This is a good suggestion. A couple of years ago we had a local Maddoff, who fleeced investors and people who worked for him. The State of California and IRS took owed state/federal taxes and money equal to what he should have paid for his employees withholdings. This was his 80 year old mother’s money, her own from a sale of a home, SS and her dead husband’s pension because he was just an approved signature on her accounts in case she was unable to access/use her accounts. A side note, he took what the IRS and state of California left.
While the author of this article is extremely cute...we still need proof before sending it to a congressman.
By the time you see evidence, it’s too late.
Master Speaker may take a break from holding court in the cry room and go have a smoke!!!
The country is bankrupt and to delay the inevitable and to protect their fuehrer, they decided, literally, to rob Peter and pay Paul. Not so bad if you are Paul.
Here is an article written by Kevin Lake

What’s one to expect when one’s government is over-run with criminals?
Indeed.
The Crier of the House certainly does not have much to say on any of this.
In fact, the only thing I am aware of is who is going to go to jail for this? To which I would say, you tell me, John, that’s your job.
GOP, you had best get your ass in gear.
The IRS needs to be squashed and obliterated. There is no reason to give such a corrupt agency the kinds of power it can wield in the lives of America. No govt agency should be given this type of power.
Arrrrr....this pisses me off!
No it is not. That’s foolish. I watch my bank accounts and credit cards daily for processing and pending transactions.
The IRS gets your bank account numbers from your SSN and primarily from any information that you have given them for direct deposit of your tax refund, etc. They glom other information first from the SSA where you might get a disabiity or SSI payment or any other such payment.
They then look for other possible accounts that match your SSN (which is not supposed to be used for identification.
I said you should have a sole secondary account into which you should have your recurring government deposits put - separate from where you have other monies, in other institutions. I stand by that. I have my ‘notitification triggers at one of my banks’ set so low, I get instant emails nearly all the time. The IRS is just not that fast.
And here is a yahoo article
I understand your concern and I share it
but this looks legit
