[television is just wrong]

the system is set up to protect the perpetrator. they do NOTHING about it.

and the victims do NOT profit from the perpetrators earnings. YET our govt plans on giving them their earnings in benefits back to the perpetrators.

I have an ex relatives by marriage from Iran. They never worked a day in this country. Went to their Iranian embassy, and today live here in California, collect FULL benefits, and it is LEGAL.

Knew someone else whose son had his SS# stolen. B OF A will not turn the perpetrator over to anyone. They claim the perp is only using the SS# for a checking account and has done NO HARM to anyone.

Interesting. Is this ex relative drawing on their spouse’s acct?

And thanx to all who helped answer my question.

So al this “extra” money goes to SS recipients from a general fund or is skimmed for other purposes?

IIRC that is a felony for harboring an illegal alien.

In California they don’t even have to be legal to collect SSDI. We have our own state funded program to pay out to illegals.
