Sorry folks there is disability fraud

85. SSDI or Worker's Compensation?

Yes, they're assholes. Yes, they're venal and corrupt. Yes, I'm sorry you had to grow up with them, I know that type.

Which system are they committing fraud on?
This would make it far more clear where the weakness in the system comes from. Worker's Compensation is far easier to commit fraud on, and carries a higher percentage.

I do know for a fact the local SSDI office will make an attempt to check their status at least every 10 years.
Over the last 25 years, my second cousin, who got onto SSDI when she was in her thirties because of internal injury problems due to pregnancy complications (she can work a little, but she can't make over $600 a month), has set aside three one-month blocks where she can expect her letter from the Social Security office to fill out her forms and come in for a check-up, and had been pretty accurate - within two months - on the last two audits. Her next audit is expected to be in 3 years, when she turns 66.
And she's moved twice during that time; from Los Angeles, to Honolulu, to Las Vegas. They still catch up with her, and they still audit her claim.

She's considering taking early Social Security, but she doesn't have enough quarters on the books to get a full payment until she's 70, and her husband still thinks he is going to be working into his 70's before he retires, so she'll just go ahead with the next SSDI audit.
