Social Security Disability Benefits Fraud

My sister passed away in February 2015 and she wrote a will asking for me to care for her underage daughter because her dad was not in her life. I filed for social security benefits when my sister passed and received them to care for my niece for about 6months until my niece decided she did not like my rules of her comings, goings and school attendance. She moved with our older sister which is very irresponsible and allows our niece to do whatever she pleases. I continued to receive her benefits for her and had a set schedule to provide her a very generous amount every two weeks saving the rest. My older sister decided that because our niece moved with her she should receive the benefits to pay some of her bils. Knowing my sister had a history of mismanaging money i was dead set against turning over anything to her but after constant arguing and fighting with her and our niece I became so mentally distressed I gave up my right as the person receiving the funds for my niece and I contacted the SSI office to be removed. They started sending the funds to my sister and very shortly after the funds became available to her she began calling friends, her siblings (out other sister and our brother) and our nieces dad asking for money. Please tell how I can turn her in for mismanaging our nieces SSI benefits.

how can I report someone using my address and my info to help themselves get ssi? I did not allow this person to do so. She move in with my uncle and he works and take care of her. Meanwhile she getting money and lie about paying me rent. I just don't want to get caught with my self and home involve.

I know a woman that collects disability for her bad back. But she mows her own yard.and carries heavy loads. I have a worse back than her, but I get up and go to work every day and pay taxes so they can give some of it to her lazy ass! I know the right thing to do is to report her but I don't want to get involved by giving my own info out. I realise that there are people that work hard to investigate fraud, but the gov needs to understand and make changes that allows it's citizens to do the right thing while remaining completely anonymous.

I have 2 family members that are married live together and report that they do not live together in order for her to receive ssi. I have 3 years of their income taxes proving they lived together and filled income taxes and living together. How do I report this?

I see fraud all the time, I'm an insurance agent. I can look across my street and see neighbors who are both on disability and teach others the way to do it. Right now her brother whose hardly worked a day in his life is on workers comp and suing his former employer cause he saw a bad accident. He tried trucking I think for a few months until he could find a way to get something for nothing. Their family is full of freeloaders getting disability checks. Her niece who had seizures(allegedly) bought a $250k house on disability back pay. Every one of them are exaggerating and lies to get disability and other benefits. Lies about how many in HH to get LIS, it is pathetic.

What if someone was married spouse deceased and they started recieving benefits. Got remarried and never reported and still recieves previous husbands benefits?

So we have a family member who is disabled but she is underage and the guardian is miss handling her checks. The guardian of the minor has lost houseing and food assistance and will not tell any where the minors check is going towards. What is my next step

Hello, where can I report, or what can I do? my uncle is recibing he's mom's disability check, and he went to dump he's mom at he's sisters house, in tijuana mexico, she's been there for the last couple of months, she need medical attention, she's blind, shes not recibing her money at all. My uncle kept all her papers to come across to California, and he's recibing the money she gets from disability, please give me advice, I don't want to give my info..

I have a neighbor who is on disability for a bad back,but he can work on cars and mow grass which involves going up and down hills ,actually running up the hill.I have a 10 minute video of him doing this..so he gets a disability check and the kids get a check for his disabity,while I have a bad back have to work.would like to turn him in, but if he found out it was me would make it hard to live beside him.

My granddaughter's mother is collecting SSI for my granddaughter. However, my granddaughter has not lived with her for almost 4 months (she lives with me now) and the mother is still getting the money. In fact, the mother refused to surrender my granddaughter's birth certificate and SS card and now I know why. Is this reportable fraud?

I know someone who gets full disability and is not supposed to be working but yet does. Has been a bartender and now works at motorcycle shop and also takes a lady to do her shopping and cleans for people. All cash. Also she goes to amusement parks and rides roller coasters. But her back and hip are what shes getting the benefits for.

My sister-in-law has back injury and she has always said she has a lot of pain and has to sit often but when I went to her house she was standing on a latter and other times I have seen her helping her husband remolding there house I don't know what to do she lives in Beloit Wisconsin there is a lot of times ripping dry wall down or she is standing on a latter too put lights on the ceiling if she injured her back she said she filed for disability because she got hurt at work and has a lot of pain when she moves around but what I have seen and my other family has seen I don't think she is not having that much pain if she can do that all day

Is it fraudulent for my ex to be claiming our two children on his disability if he hasn't supported/provided them with anything since 2013? He is on and out of Jail so I don't have any current address for him...

Can some one collect Social security Disability and Compensation at the same time?

I think it's that this person is getting social security and her dead beat son doesn't go to school and they collect money every month. But he can go out everyday and steel. And she's nothing but a lazy person. Why can't they work so many hours a month to volunteer somewhere. This needs to stop. And having to give are names to report it is total wrong. An the woman gets pain medication and sells it.

There is a woman who told me that I should be working and not mooching off the government. She knows nothing about me; but, someone in our apartment office let her look at my file. She has reported me to the SS numerous times and I am not doing anything wrong.
Isn't it illegal for her to look at my files and make accusations?

I have a question for you, I have a room-mate who gets disability every month and his "disability" is completely unreal, maybe it was years ago because of an incident in the military, but don't you re-evaluate people every so often? He is able to do ANYTHING a normal person can, and he proves that in a fitness center every day, by lifting very heavy weights. He uses the disability to sleep all day/night and do absolutely nothing constructive. I know of plenty of other REAL DISABLED people who are getting denied disability because you have people such as himself abusing the system. I NEED ANSWERS! It bothers me day in and day out that he is abusing a system that is actually needed in some people's lives.

My neighbor the Freeloader (by your friendly neighbor)

Everything has a purpose in life. The purpose of a climbing vine is most likely to use a tree as support until it can no longer take its weight or absorb light and fall to the ground, to become nutrients to the land and future vegetation. A climbing vine has its part in the vegetation and land life cycles.

Humans on the other side, specifically those that make a living of abusing federal and state temporary financial aid programs, are not part of any life cycle. Although they are able, they do not contribute anything to any life cycle, community, or society. There are war veterans missing limbs that maintain jobs and contribute to society and my hat goes off to thank them for their service and sacrifice. 75-year-old senior citizens that although they may be retired are still contributing to society in one way or another; working, volunteering, helping to raise their children’s children, or taking care of the needier. These are not the people I want to tell you about.

The United States gives over 175 billion dollars from Social Security each year for those on disability with only 72,000 allegations of fraud reported to the Social Security office of the inspector general. 18 million people are currently under some type of disability benefit. The good news is that there were 330,000 new jobs available last month. The bad news is that there were 783,000 discouraged workers on the same month.

Let me tell you the story about my neighbor the “Freeloader”, (or your neighbor, as I am told by some of my friends and colleagues). In his mid-forties, one day he decided he wasn’t going to work anymore and was going to file for disability, Long Term Disability, Social Security benefits and Medicaid on the account of daily headaches and being bipolar. With the help of most likely a good ambulance chaser, his goal for the future and the rest of his life was met over 8 years ago.

During the last 8 years I have seen my “Disable” neighbor on the roof installing solar panels, satellite dishes, and even a wind generator. Very energy conscious, but now it looks more like trash than metal art. I’ve seen him fix boats and rig sailboat masts, recycle old AC unit parts to sell them on eBay, build a greenhouse where the roof collapsed a few days ago. Even replace his entire roof with new shingles. Every time his TV antenna needs adjustment, he climbs on the roof. He even buys, carry, and mixes his own concrete on his backyard and opens his own fence post holes. You should see him push the lawnmower and walk around operating a weed eater, like a pro. Lately he welded together and installed a very nice electric driveway door where there is no driveway. I know people who would hire that kind of handy work and skills in a minute.

Of course all these projects take place at night and mostly on the weekends in hiding. He has started three different business on the side with no success, and even worked for a car sales lot for cash commissions. At some point he decided to become a farmer and drilled his own water well, built planters, and a greenhouse for seedlings. After a few years the termites took care of that project. Later he decided to build a hen house which after the years and 6 hens later looks more like a pile of debris. Not bad for a disable person that has declared to the federal and state government unfit to drive to work and perform work and receives anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000 from Social Security and the State and who knows what else. Is all this worth spending time in a federal prison?

From selling motor vehicle fuel boosting systems to selling advertising tools to car sales lots are some of the projects I have also witness through the last 8 years. I even helped and threw in ideas in there not realizing this has all been very wrong, and not seeing the big picture, 175 billion dollars.

So, this is all good, may be he’s trying stay busy and not get into more trouble than he needs to, but the injustice of seeing someone who has declared to the federal and state government that they cannot drive, get to work, or perform work riding a motorcycle up and down the street, driving cars, buying fancy cars for his kids to go to college, while staying at home and work on useless projects, and all funded by the tax payer and the hard worker is very disappointing. To see someone in the community that does not contribute or volunteers a minute of their time to pick up a piece of paper from the street or volunteers on any of the annual community events, but has the time and energy to engage on all these projects is a very odd picture.

I just hope for all of our sake, and the sake of this country’s financial stability that people like these are not handing that example down to the younger generations. I just hope that their kids are going to school to become contributors to society and communities, and not become more anchors to the remaining few hard workers. Remember, we’re talking about a 175 billion dollars financial hole here.

I have always been very good about putting myself in the shoes of others and thinking about, what if I was disabled and could no longer work? I answer myself; there are so many things I’d be doing. I’d be teaching kids how to swim and fish anytime I could. I’d be the old man picking up every piece of debris of my street, mowing old neighbors’ yards, picking up leaves in the fall, organizing the community events, but of most importance removing those obnoxious vines that try to grow on trees.
Of course all this is based on observations I run into here and there, but how about the facts? What about what I don’t get exposed to? I am not a medical or legal professional to make determinations of who is fit and who’s not fit to work or drive, but my 85 year old mother with arthritis and my 60 year old blind in one eye colleague contribute more to society and the community than my neighbor the “Freeloader”.

Too bad I’m not a whistle blower, but it is time for these agencies to really do the math and get off their nice office chairs and get to work on investigating and enforcing this type of financial abuse to all hard working tax paying citizens of this great country.

Whining is easy when you run into problems, which is why I am a big believer that you should also come up with the solutions. So, here are a few thoughts: Annual Submission of Community Hours Activity Log, Annual Third Party Examinations and Conclusions, take part of Work Rehab Programs, Private Investigations and Statements from third parties.

Let’s get these people back into the community and the workforce, just like we do with young kids when their parents and the school system cannot keep them motivated to succeed. I know, I know, it cost money, but 175 billion dollars? Time for a reality check because this picture cannot end well. We are preparing our future to be a culture of freeloaders.

Sincerely,

Your Friendly Neighbor and Concerned Citizen

hi my mother in law is on ssi and has been living in another county using her old address for 5 years and has not reported it to the ssa is this fraud

What if I know someone that is getting Ssdi.. And they are using illegal drugs that using soical security money to pay for

What if a person is applying in one state, but living on another state?

I know someone who had a brain aneurysm 20 something years ago. They have been on disability since. I have seen them dancing on many occasions. They also ride on the back of a motorcycle from new Jersey to myrtle beach, to new Hampshire etc. I am wonderin why they can do this but yet not work. I am paying taxes and not happy. Would you consider this fraud? No reason why they can't get a job in my eyes.
