If these accusations are proven true, they should lose their SS and pensions both. It would be nice to see such an aggressive push to root out welfare and disability fraud amongst the entitlement class also, but this is certainly a good start.

Municipal workers have been ripping off the system for decades. Look at the LIRR scandals. Everyone involved looks the other way.

Unfortunately, they won't lose their pensions because according to NYS law their public pensions are protected even if they commit a felony against their employer (NYS government). To take away their pensions, NYS needs to change the law.

They are DIRTBAGS. It is disgusting that they even sink so low as to pretend to be mentally ill to get "free money" from Social Security. They also put their kids on it too, as if the parent is on it their kids are also entitled to a check to suck off the system's teats.

Those who didn't suffer a scratch, yet capitalized on it, are bums.

You have no idea of the strengths or weaknesses of the cases, or what will happen, but feel free to speculate.

There will be plenty of comments by cop-haters, who would rather see criminals run rampant than be arrested.

There is a lot of effort to detect fraud, but it's difficult to prove. Anytime, any program seeks to distribute money or recoup it from the government, there will be fraud. One solution would be to stop all entitlements, but there would be too much outcry from those who have grown to depend on them, not just the recipients.
