The Social Security Administration improperly disbursed an estimated $571 million in disability benefits to people who had already returned to work, according to a government audit report.
Of the half a billion estimated overpayments, nearly $201 million of the improperly disbursed benefits checks were due to the administration’s slow processing, and the almost $371 million was the fault of the beneficiaries who didn’t complete paperwork on time, the Office of the Inspector General (IG)wrote in a report released Tuesday.
Analyzing a sample of disability cases from 2012, the IG found a total of $1.3 million in overpayments, $446,000 of which were made as a result of administrative errors, as well as $823,000 due to individuals failing to report wages that would disqualify them from benefits.

People get all upset when someone games the system, as they should, but don't make a sound when the system games them. All indignant when Joe Blow gets a few bucks but just shrugs when they are screwed for millions by the system. Lol

The last time I checked, $571 Million dollars isn't just a few bucks!
Let me guess... You got a few bucks from the Government and didn't pay it back.
