Social Security, always under pressure from being insolvent, is now paying money to California prisoners. The Free Beacon reports:
Prisoners incarcerated in California took in $3.5 million in Social Security payments from taxpayers.
The inspector general for the agency reported 123 inmates received the disability and retirement payments despite the Social Security Act prohibiting payments to individuals “confined to a jail, prison, or certain other public institutions for committing a crime.”
The report, released late last month, also found flaws in the Social Security Administration’s database of prisoner information, as only 69 percent of prisoners’ personal information matched SSA records.
“We identified 123 inmates who received approximately $3.5 million in improper payments while they were incarcerated in [California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Facilities],” the inspector general said. “In 49 cases, the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) Prisoner Update Processing System (PUPS) did not contain the inmates’ most recent confinement information.”
No wonder Social Security will be in serious danger in just a few years, if the administration of it is either incompetent or corrupt.
Did you know Gavin newsom is Nancy pelosi nephew? Birds of a feather
For Christ sake if the lowlifes in congress aren’t stealing from SS the convicted thugs are. Did they stop vetting and doing back ground checks on people who work for the government?
Mexifornia is the state of slavery and theft as they push their way into hell. I feel sorry for the honest people who don’t deserve it but the rest of them will get what they deserve.
California is going to be in even worse financial trouble considering that so much of their expensive base is now nothing but piles of ashes. Does anyone else remember that a couple of years ago, the I slam ic fanatics suggested burning the US infrastructure? We didn’t have 24/7 coverage of out of control wild fires prior to that fat wa.
And they wonder why the country has no money. I sure hope they’ll be paying this back. I’ve had shortfalls of less than $100 to the State and received threatening letters if I didn’t pay.
And the legitimate recipients of Social Security get a pittance monthly check for all the years they worked and paid into the fund and many live at poverty level while the buffoons at Social Security dole out paymnets to unqualified people that need to be vetted, people like illegals and jai birds who paid SQUAT into Social Security yoet are getting a free ride. Something’s rotten here and not in Denmark!. Why is this happening and why aren’t the seciors who’ve paid into this over the years outraged and demand accountability?
The most immoral thing about Social Security is that those who need it least get the biggest checks.
WHAT IS GOING ON???? dOES ANYBODY EVER CHECK ON THIS KIND OF STUFF
GOING ON?????????? THIS IS A CRIME & THOSE IN CHARGE SHOULD BE PUT IN PRISON. THAT’S WHY SOCIAL SECURITY IS RUNNING OUT OF MONEY. I PAID DEARLY INTO THIS.
Is anyone in California honest?
Write to the American Bar Association.They are the root of all evil.These shyster Lawyers pull off this fraud for a big fee of the first Check.
‘California’ is the first entry in the Dictionary under ‘Corrupt’.
Send the fucking Jerry Brown in jail. Period !
HERE hERE
Hell, thiss thieving lying liberal and progressive bastard’s’s got the time now that he’s retired. Unfortunately the fools here in California elected gavin ‘giveaway the store’ newsom to continue the destruction of this once great, affordable and prosperous state that’s become a huge, overpriced, unaffordable CRAPHOLE under the liberals. Somtimes I wonder why the thinking and rational people here keep electing these no good liberal thieves who do NADA but keep jacking up the taxes to pay for all the ‘socialist’ programs and agenda while the taxpayers get SQUAT. Is it something in the air or water or are people smokin’ the wrong kind of weed? Someone please tell me!
Guess what you are saying is the cause of the California Tax Rebellion which began back in he 1960s. My brother worked in California for over 25 ears and never paid a penny in taxes. They had a big Tax Rebellion rally at the Hollywood Bowl in the early 1960s and set up Seminars to teach people how to evade taxes and hide their assets.
I’d choose the other option. Corrupt! People who are disabled from birth that has never worked a day in their lives are able to draw disability without any questions whatsoever. Those who have paid into the system like myself until I became disabled were treated like crap because we dared to ask to have our benefits due to the carelessness of others. I applied to welfare because no job due to disability with a wife as a cashier at a grocery store and a 4 year old daughter while Obozo usurped office of potus, I received a whole $2-$3.00 a month from welfare. It took about 3 years fighting for disability by hiring an attorney, firing the first and hiring another before any results.
Their comments about me from someone that isn’t a doctor, never seen me before, completely ignored my doctors decided that the auto accident that screwed me over which I lost my job, I’d be back to work in 9 months. Fast forward 2 1/2 years and going before a judge, my attorney pointed out the fact that someone sitting at a desk decided I wasn’t able to draw due to 9 months before going back to work was over 2 years ago which I’m still disabled.
January of 2017 I received my first check From Social Security. Fast forward to last month, I received some paperwork I’m not supposed to see for at least another year questioning my disability which someone sitting behind a desk has decided that I’m not disabled anymore and they want to cancel my disability checks. I’ve had 3 back surgeries, 1 cervical spinal surgery, a spinal column stimulator test that failed, and upcoming test for a morphine pump because I have to lay down most of the day to stay out of pain, but they don’t mind giving our money to illegal aliens that come across our border illegally and can’t speak a lick of English. They give it to people that have never paid in but harass everyone that actually depends on it to live.
The federal government should question every thing that comes from California. They have proven to be corrupt in every aspect of running the California government. Their representatives are the most corrupt and fake of all the nation.
I agree with you totally
What they should do is invalidate all social security being paid to California residents and then have them prove they’re eligible under federal law that governs payments. legitimate recipients should get full recompense, and illegitimates should have their social security number flagged as fraudulent, in addition to having the Secret service show up at their doors to photograph, finger print and DNA sample their asses while handing them the bill for everything they’re ever received and placing a lien on all of their accounts.
Fo the inmates, make the state of California pay it back and they can figure out how to have the inmates pay for it. Their “bookkeeping” their problem.
Incompetent or Corrupt? How about it being both, which seems the case.
maybe Mad max can have her daughter pay it back.
Jail these “leaders” who scam Social Security. They belong in jail along side the ones that should not be receiving these checks. What is wrong with our government for paying out to criminals in jail? They had to lie on the paperwork to get it I am sure, which is fraud.
It’s easy for Democrats to game the system when whores like Senator Harris was able to fuck her way into the highest job in California politics by sleeping with San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, 32 years her senior, whose marriage she successfully destroyed. Here is a little know story about this political slut who supports Slave Labor and Slave Wages when it fit her agenda…In 2014, lawyers including Harris argued in court that if minimum-custody inmates were released from prison early, the state of California would “lose an important labor pool.” These inmates are paid $1 an hour to confront some of the deadliest blazes in California history and are also used to collect garbage from our freeway landscape… Harris is so good at screwing people for her political agenda giving these inmates Social Security benefits for which they do not qualify…IT’S ALL PART OF THE SOCIALISTS AGENDA…
i could comment on that worthless lazy and ‘entitled black POS but what’s the point? On abnother note and to top it off the idiots here elected gavin ‘giveaway the store’ newsom to succeed jerry ‘the clown’ brown. This is the death knell for California, the California dream and so much more. You see, newsom was the social climbing pretty boy, first class asswipe, snake and weasel to make San Francisaco, the one time jewel of cCaifornia a ‘sanctuary city’ and anyone and everyone living here has to deal with the BULLS**T this caused: crime going through the roof, crappy and failing infrastructure, invading hoards of bums and homeless ‘tent’ encampments taking over the streets, sidewalks and city parks, streets reeking like toilets with the stench of garbage, piss and piles of human feces, unaffordable housing and costs of living and the list goes on and on but I think i’ve made my point and you get the picture. All this while this no good thieving and lying bastard dumped us for Sacramento to be jerry ‘the clown’ browns flunkee as lieutenant governor. This has destroyed this one time clean affordable and prosperous jewel of California that’s now a huge, nightmarish, overpriced and overrated CRAPHOLE and on par with calcutta, nairobi and port au prince. To add insult to injury San Francisco recently has been named the ‘doo doo’ capital of th USA due to toilet lke streets. Sometimes I wonder what’s wrong with the people here and why they keep electing these no good thieves who do nothing to improve living conditions here but jack up the taxes for all their ‘socialist’ programs. Is it something in the air or water or are people smokin’ the wrong kind of weed or really that stupid?
