“Oh no, there are many, many very old people, who refuse to die, still on Social Security”

Well, time will tell… it’s very easy to get proof of life/identity when suspicions are aroused.

Betcha the bulk of SS benefit fraud is via the millions of illegals throughout MAGA-Land.

im in Detroit..i know of at least a dozen people who go to “certain” doctors, pretend they are “crazy”, then get SSI. Then they get a prescription of a pain killer and Xanax and promptly sell those. Its like almost automatic that people do this..im sure this goes on all over the Country and has for years.

I’ve done that training. It is not hard.. It can’t be, the average Federal employee has to be able to pass it!

They call SSI payments “crazy checks” in some places, like southwest Virginia.

Yes SSI certainly has more fraud/abuse than regular Social Security.

If you have duplicate SSNs, start there.

Send the fbi to figure out which is the real person, then imprison the others. All of them.

No quarter. No mercy.

Dotting I’s and crossing T’s is only for the pensioners and widows. I bet Social Security disability is worth checking on.

It has always been a big joke—stories about guys collecting Social Security disability and then beating up the locals in bar fights.

Lol.

Can we start discussions about so-called “entitlements?” Entitlements are what you are entitled to by your positive actions. Your fully funded pension plans, your social security that you have fully paid into, and your workers comp if you are hurt on the job, and V.A. benefits earned by patriotic servicemen (and servicewomen).

Welfare, S.S.I. to a huge part, S.N.A.P. benefits, Medicaid, and other largess are not something a person is “entitled to.” Those are payments to persons of certain status based upon the goodwill of the American taxpayers.

Judge John McConnell, the federal judge from Rhode Island who ordered the Trump admin and DOGE to unfreeze billions of dollars in federal grants has a daughter who currently works for the US Department of Education as a senior policy advisor and was appointed by
@JoeBiden
on Feb 14, 2022, which is a CONFLICT OF INTEREST since Trump and DOGE are planning to defund the Department of Education

You are absolutely correct with your definition of “entitlements”, IMHO.

Pain docs are supposed to piss-test their patients to make sure that they are actually taking their painkillers and not selling them...

I know a guy on SSI who works under the table. I suspect that’s pretty common among the SSI population....
