Today, we're going to demonstrate that the policies of multiple
agencies of the U.S. federal government are responsible for enabling
criminal disability fraud in the United States, with the cost of the
fraud accelerating the pending insolvency of Social Security's
Disability Insurance Trust Fund, which will put the program's legitimate
beneficiaries at high risk of having their benefits cut after the fund
has been exhausted.
Current projections indicate that the Social Security trust fund for disability will be fully depleted in 2016, just four years from the present. The projections from the previous year had indicated that would not happen until 2018. The large shift in the timing of the projected trust fund depletion toward the present in just a year's time indicates a strongly deteriorating fiscal situation for the government "safety net" program.
In Part 1 of our series, we discovered that the U.S. Social Security Administration has effectively established a "no-challenge" policy for disability insurance claims made by applicants over the age of 50, which allows these individuals to obtain Social Security disability benefits far more easily than individuals Age 49 or younger. This arbitrary policy is what enables these individuals to receive Social Security disability insurance payments, even though they might not otherwise be able to obtain those benefits if they were held to the same standards as those under Age 50.
