From Clarin:
In an effort to identify and address irregularities within the federal benefits system, the US Social Security Administration (SSA) has launched in-person checks targeting retirees, pensioners and recipients of federal benefits. …
In-person checks are not random, nor do they cover the entire retiree population. Instead, they primarily target recipients of two programs: Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
Furthermore, checks are triggered when SSA systems detect discrepancies in reported data, mismatches between tax records and actual income, or address changes that were not reported within required deadlines. …
Some may remember the old centenarian project at Social Security. Agency employees were sent out supposedly to congratulate those turning 100. The purpose was actually to make sure the claimants were still alive.
I guess that employees will attend to this chore in their spare time.

For their own safety's sake, I hope Frankie's Fraud Squad are equipped with body armor. Ask the Census folks how welcoming certain members of the public are to gub'mint agents.
The only irregularities is this current administration. Luckily, the midterms are only a few months away. 🗳️
My guess is that SSA employees will be pulled from answering phones in order to address this politically inspired workload.
SSA employees would be more than willing to give up their vacations in order to address fraud and abuse in government insert DOGE boys names.
I think I have seen this movie in the 2020 election. The allegation of systemic fraud.
...as an annual SSI redetermination; what an idea!
Nothing new. These are medical CDRs. I hate these fake news sites that spew click bait.
So many legal issues and physical risks associated with this. Who in their right mind would ever want to be a Claims Rep -- this is ridiculous given the gobs of money SSA has funneled to companies to leverage data and technology.
Every state already has a cooperative disability investigation unit. So if they're going to do this work, at least they're trained in it and it won't take away from their other duties. If they pull people off the FOs, TSCs, PCs, etc. for this, it would be really bad.
Can’t read, eh?
What happened to waste? Your loyalty pledge will be given a second look… Team DOGE.
Can I bring them pretzels?
