Social Security may use your Facebook and Instagram photos to nix disability claims
The Social Security Administration may start screening your Facebook and Instagram posts to evaluate your disability claim
Currently, the federal agency uses them to investigate fraud cases, but it's planning to expand that usage
Social media is considered a poor measure of a person's life, so the practice raises data privacy questions
Careful what you post online. The Social Security Administration may start screening your Facebook and Instagram posts to evaluate your disability claim. At the moment, the SSA's disability investigations units and the Office of the Inspector General use social media posts to flag fraudulent activity. However, in the 2020 budget proposal released Monday, the SSA said it's planning to expand that usage to review and evaluate applicants for disability benefits. SSA spokesperson Mark Hinkle said the work is "ongoing."
"We are evaluating how social media could be used by disability adjudicators in assessing the consistency and supportability of evidence in a claimant's case file," the agency said in the 2020 budget.
This is nothing new!! Law enforcement has been doing it for years. Anybody dumb enough to put all their business out on social media deserves whatever they get
So if you're waterskiing in your new $40,000 boat when you should be in a back brace and in physical therapy, look out. Will this also lower the number of bogus handicap tags out there?
Yeah if you can climb in and out of LOUD monster truck and waddle into Wal-Mart and hop on a shop around. You just might not be that disabled and just obese and lazy.
It's a good thing. Too many freeloaders with nothing wrong with them getting disability. Ones who really need and deserve it go through hell to get it.
