Time to crack down on Social Security Disability fraud?

What about the fraud the judges do? Some of the disability judges were offered a bonus for turning people down a few years ago. It probably has not changed.

The government is far more corrupt than most applying for disability ever could be. The government never will have to face consequences for the fraud it does. And judges have only been punished for taking money to award disability. They will never be punished for the opposite.

I read where in Puerto Rico a very large % of people on our Social Security disability there and fraud is rampant. I'm sure it is here too, but I recall its much worse there.

Shouldn't we crack down on all of that too?

Maybe use able-bodied people who are on food stamps, and have them work part time rooting out SS Disability fraudsters.

Or, hire unemployed Veterens and train them to identify all kinds of entitlement fraud?

It is the new welfare.
