Some really do improve. Especially the preemie babies whose only "disability" is being low birth weight. Many turn out completely fine. Yes, I know not all, but some do. I've had parents filing claims tell me their preemie has no complications but is just small. Still, they get the free money, at least for a year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-11766738723451425752016-07-25T10:53:53.311-04:002016-07-25T10:53:53.311-04:00Don't think the mailer is just taking the clai...Don't think the mailer is just taking the claimant's word that they are still disabled. A sophisticated selection process identifies likely candidates for the mailer process, and rigorous validation reviews confirm its accuracy. It would cost billions more a year to do full medical reviews on all of these cases and the results would still be what you see right now.

The truth is that people who get on the rolls are very sick people. There is a tiny percentage who through extraordinary supports and effort (and costs) might be able make a few bucks, but by and large, even this group will never be self supporting. There will always be someone who overcomes great adversity, but they are the exception. SSA return to work efforts are noble but pretty much a wasted effort. The money spent on them could be better used elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-41446193413779626562016-07-25T10:12:07.941-04:002016-07-25T10:12:07.941-04:00typo in headlinetypo in headlineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-73478285483748465102016-07-25T08:22:03.734-04:002016-07-25T08:22:03.734-04:00Aren't these statistics from 2013?Aren't these statistics from 2013?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
