1/4 of those 'disabled' on SSI are not really disabled.

I used to be a casemanager, and is that ever true! Its' also the reason I won't ever work in that field again.

I agree...I have 2 forms of arthritis...and couldn't qualify for SSI if I tried. Yet folks who are over weight which causes knee problems can.

I have a nieghbor who i asked one day recently where she worked, imagine my surprise when she said to me i dont work im on SSI.
well i didnt even know at the time what SSI was but she gave me a quick overview in how she cheats the
ssi program by claiming to hear voices in her fridgedaire and other electronic devises. my mouth was hanging open in shock she was so very casual about it. i asked her if she did hear voices for real,oh no she said she only said that to qualify for the SSI program.
then SSI told her six yr's ago that she had to move in with her parents which she said has really put a crimp in her lifestyle.I think her parents are annoyed with her all the time over this.
I have lived here on this road for over a yr. now and only just recently met this woman,when i asked why i never see her out and about she said she tends to sleep a lot because of the med's she takes for the voices that she doesnt have.
I was pretty upset with her fraudulent claim which caused a bit a scene between us that day.
i did let her know that i thought she and others like her were the reason my property taxes and state taxes were so high which she did not seem to understand i guess.
it just makes me ill to see all the abuse and outright theft of our hard earned dollars going to these kind of programs that allow bums and frauds to live at our expense.
