The Social Security Administration (SSA) issued an estimated $1 million in improper payments between 2000 and 2010 to people who were in prison, according to an Office of Inspector General (OIG) Report entitled Special Disability Workload Payments Made to Incarcerated Beneficiaries.

The investigation over the payments began after the SSA discovered certain beneficiaries were not receiving their disability insurance (DI) checks.

As the report states, “Studies SSA conducted identified SSI recipients who had their entitlement based on applications before January 1, 2000, and appeared to be insured for, but were not receiving, DI benefits. The Agency categorized these individuals as SDW cases. As of September 30, 2010, SSA reported a total estimated SDW liability of $173 million due the public.” …

What did I do Lady Jane? Well, first I retired from the Air Force. Then I applied, took the tests, got accepted, went to the Academy at Galt (not John Galt) and then went to San Quentin for 2 years and then to Solano for 23 years. I retired in Sept 2013. I spent the last 11 years working in the psyche ward. Prisons are the new asylums. Kind of sucks, but that is reality. Now, with my knowledge of aviation, I am helping some missionaries build an airfield for these indigenous tribal people. They take the tribal people, send them to Christian colleges, mostly for farming, so they can farm better, and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to their own people.

Oh I knew it was a joke, I just kind of outlined it all, since I had 25 years of good service, which I am proud of. Now I am dealing with the indigenous mountainous tribes here, working for The Lord. This is the most interesting thing I have ever done. I am amazed at how well they speak English too.
