get $250 payment, its either May or June. I cannot remember. I just read it. To my knowledge there no money for ICs, that would be an awful big group of people. There is also a $250 payment for folks drawing VA disabity benefits also that comes either in May or June. If you have direct deposit it will just show up in your account. If not it will be mailed to you. however you get your check is how you will get the stimulus payment.

Is alcoholism a disability
I know someone who is filing for state and social security disability because he's an alcoholic. Can he do that?

Aside from a learning disability, if they don't

My mother was on disability
and she really needed to be. She recieved $516.00 a month from disability and $16.00 of food stamps a month. Don't see how she was abusing the system.

I used to work in a grocery store and saw lots of abuse but also saw people that desperatly needed the help.

This was 20 years ago. If you pay with food stamps you got food stamps back except for coins. A couple of people would come in and buy a 5cent piece of candy so they would actucally get change back. They would do this several times until they had enough to buy cigarettes. Now (at least here) food stamps are on a card so you just use the card until it runs out and then is refilled the first of each month so no change.

Sick of disability/insurance fraud?

I am. I'm tired of playing by the rules and paying through the nose. I'll happily wear a red shirt with whistleblower painted all over it. I am minding my business, my tax money and my future.

I think names of individuals receiving federal/state/VA disability funds should be made public. I'm sure psych advocates will have a cow, but actually psych is one of the most abused disability diagnoses. I'd be willing to say forego psych patients and just list those with physical disability receiving money. Oh yes, I know it's subjective. Just like I know the guy receiving all kinds of money while taking morphine for "back pain" and riding his motorcyle.

Common sense would not hurt - how about anyone receiving disability income specifically for a back injury should not be issued a motorcycle license/insurance. I'd appreciate hearing any measures you think would work.

Please save the indignation over loss of privacy - I'm talking about federal and state money that comes out of the taxpayer's pockets. I'll bet everyone on this forum can name someone they know is getting money they don't deserve. If you don't agree, you must not be in that age group that will retire with zero SS funds left or perhaps won't be one of the population who needs and deserves disability income and will never see it. I hope it does not happen to you.

She received a 160K disability payment sm
Something about a back injury that didn't allow her to work (but did allow her to carry 8 babies? Strong back....?) and she also gets some money for a couple of the first 6 kids who are disabled in one way or another (not sure of the details).

I agree my hubby's friend is getting disability for his back
lifts equipment, helps transport it, etc. He also doesn't pay child support. what a waste of space.
