Over the years, hell, decades, I have accumulated a collection of documents pertaining to Social Security. From time to time I notice one that might be of interest to other people. Here are a couple of very different documents that I have uploaded to Scribd.
- An American Medical Association Ethics Opinion stating that it is unethical to withhold medical records for non-payment of medical bills. Note that this PDF starts out as if it just applies to North Carolina but keep going. It's national. This issue comes up from time to time in representing Social Security disability claimants.
- The Comptroller General's 1981 report that provided justification for throwing hundreds of thousands of people off Social Security disability benefits. I heard rumors at the time that some person or persons at Social Security angled to get the Comptroller General to write this report Regardless, this document was a major factor leading to policies and practices that created the biggest crisis that Social Security has ever faced.
Biggest crisis that SSA has ever faced?? You're such a drama queen. Getting ineligible people off the rolls is exactly what is needed. By the way in case you have not noticed the biggest crisis is looming - the exhaustion of the trust funds.
