Records: Octuplets' Mom Received $165G in Disability Payments
Associated Press / Fox News ^ | February 5, 2009

Posted on 02/05/2009 4:55:58 PM PST by Zakeet

State documents disclosed to The Associated Press show that Nadya Suleman, the mother of the recently-delivered octuplets, received more than $165,000 in disability payments for an on-the-job back injury.

She worked at a state mental hospital from 1997 until December when she resigned. The payments were made between 2002 and 2008, during which time Suleman gave birth to most of her six other children.

Records provided to the AP following a public records request to the Department of Mental Health show that for much of that time, however, she was unable to work.

Not even a photo of Suleman has emerged and public records shed little light on her. The 33-year-old single mother, who now has 14 children under the age of 8, has used different names over the years and has been married and divorced once.

While Suleman, whose 14 children were conceived by in vitro fertilization, declined to speak publicly for days, she has come under criticism from TV and radio commentators, bloggers and others who have accused her of irresponsibly having more children than she appears prepared to care for. Some have accused her of having the octuplets in an effort to cash in with a TV or book deal.

Although her publicists acknowledge she is reviewing such offers, one of her friends said she simply loves children and didn't get pregnant for profit.

Well that was fast, now if only they’d go dig up Hussein’s birth certificate.

BAck problems? Being pregnant couldn’t have helped that particular “disability”.

I agree with the point that Bill O’Reilly is making in covering this story. The fact that this single unemployed, homeless mother of 6 had even one embryo implanted, let alone EIGHT! constitutes child abuse.

Hussein wasn’t born per se. He was delivered from on high by a host of fluttering cherubs who strew rose petals and cherry blossoms before him as they averted their gaze. What mere piece of paper can document that?

so much for the theory that she had a small number of embryos implanted and some “divided”. this clearly states that she had 8 implanted. some doctor really should have to answer for implanting 8.

Then the rumors I heard were wrong, I heard he was spewed from the bowels of hell in a cloud of sulfurous smoke. The Bible says that Satan is the father of lies, Hussein fits the bill.

Are this woman and her parents legally in the USA? Not that it matters now that she had produced 14 anchor babies.

Hell, if I’d ever been able to get ahold of $165,000 bucks my family would be set for the next several generations! I have no clue about how to piss off that much money!

That only comes out to about $27,500 a year. Not peanuts, but not a huge amount of money for a family to live on, esp. in CA. That’s about what I made working FT at a doctor’s office and it didn’t go as far as it seems it should. (And no, I’m not defending her, it just doesn’t break down to a ton of money per year.)

That is inflation: G has progressed to K.

Grand is now kilo, and the multi-culti metric system massages its way ever deeper into the Doodooland of the Presstitutes, to the point that red blooded American Conservativess now demand it be used, rather than the terminology our own forefathers brought forth upon the vernacular!
