About time!
They just decided to crack down?
How nice of them to have allowed people to steal all these years.
Whoops , shouldn't say anything that would get me in trouble.
Just another branch of our wonderful government , ain't you proud.
My mother-in-law had been gone for over 6 months when we got a copy of the bill for an x-ray. The date of the x-ray was after she had passed.
We ask when they dug her up to do this test.
Another way of making money.
The real fraud is the salaries and bonuses that the federal employees receive that work for social security.
