Social Security Disability Insurance needs to be reigned in. I personally know several people who have milked it for years, in some cases decades.
In one case, an ex son-in-law for 30 plus years, collecting SSDI while working “off the books” ripping off SSDI and the IRS. Of course I reported him, including details and nothing happened. I really don’t believe those agencies give a big rat’s a$$.
You are correct, fraud on a small scale is now ignored in most fed agencies unless it is too blatant such being caught with a trunk load of US property while exiting a US military base.
