Most people on disability really rely on that money just to survive. And in this society no one cares about anyone else, just money, strictly business. How about defending these people who may have a hard time speaking for themselves or may not even understand what's happening. Until they can keep the citizens information secure.

The FAQs alone add tremendous value and frankly, there are a lot of RIB claims that are pretty straightforward. I assume that the ratio of Retirement claims to Disability claims is significant, meaning that online claims do have a benefit to the Agency's operations.<br /><br />Add to that this fact - as a non-retirement age person, I expect to be able to do my work with the government online. I have no intention of walking into an SSA office to file for retirement. Additionally, I would have no qualms initiating my disability application online if it would save me time and/or allow me to produce a higher-quality product than I could do over the phone. <br /> <br />Fraud exists, yes, and SSA needs to do all it can to minimize the risks. But there's always been fraud and always will be folks trying to make a quick buck -- the issue is how quickly SSA can find/fix it.<br /><br />And out of curiosity, while even one mispaid dollar is frustrating and something that has to be addressed, what % of paid benefits is the $20 million?
