I can guarantee you that we have no such tools or checks accessible to the local offices. Heck, we get fraud reports all the time that we can't investigate because we don't have access to the names of people receiving benefits in our areas of jurisdiction. <br /><br />Most of the time, these cases are caught through Medicare non-useage checks or address/bank SNAFUs that catch up the criminals. <br /><br />Still waiting, Anonymous 4:21PM . . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-29367815910544756482013-06-14T17:46:25.087-04:002013-06-14T17:46:25.087-04:00And how is this the local field office fault?

There are plenty of checks already in place to detect this type of fraud. Somebody wasn't doing their job, not because they didn't have time, but because they chose not to do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-31213801339111936382013-06-14T12:25:54.906-04:002013-06-14T12:25:54.906-04:00Move along, nothing to see here.

Something tells me me if they look at her Medicare, there would be zero use for 30+ years. Anybody know many people over 65 that NEVER visit the doctor? However, a check like that probably boils down to manpower and budget of which SSA is in short supply. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
