Social Security Disability Benefits Fraud

I'm currently 21, and my mother was approved for disability about a year ago. She received her backpay in a lump sum, then I got a call from SS saying that I was going to receive my own backpay for child benefits. I gave them my bank account information over the phone and all was confirmed. My mother changed the bank account information on paper right before my dad and I took it to my bank to get notarized. I was completely unaware of this. A few months later, my mother, an SS worker and I were on the phone together and the worker said the lump sum went into an account, which was obviously not mine. My mother acted extremely excited until the worker said to me "You should get an attorney, that's not your mother's money." My mother argued with her saying that's not how it works until the SS worker ended the call. I was 18 at the time and didn't understand to the full extent of what happened, until my dad confessed to me that he was aware it was wrong. Is what my mother did right? Shouldn't I have gotten the lump sum because I am now an adult and that money was supposed to be spent on me regardless?

What if I have knowledge of a person collecting SSDI for a son she refuses to raise or have anything to do with while her grandmother maintains a "caregiver agreement" so that he gets his needs met?

Ok I was working for a guy and his wife is now owner of the company and he works for the company and getting ssa and he is the one that was paying me and he didn't what should

What if I report someone and ssi doesn't find enough evidence to prove fraud, do I then have problems?

If SSDI received a letter containing information indicating benefits were owed, but SSDI provides documentation that based the information provided, funds are owed to SSDI and the situation is actually the other way around. WOULD IT BE CONSIDERED FRAUD if a new letter with different amounts is then sent to SSDI claiming the same benefit amount was once again owed by SSDI. There's no explanation why the information changed and nothing to substantiate said claim. In other words, if they manipulated information so the outcome was in their favor, is that considered fraudulent practice?

I wanted to report this person I know, I dont usually do stuff like this but im very upset that there are people out there that absolutely need disability and can't get it but then there are other people that get it and they dont need it.. they just spend it on nonsense. Anyway this person dont pay any bills, she just lives off other people and she just bought something for $400 that was a complete waste of money and her money goes on other things thats not important.

My own brother is on disability because he lost his leg. ( He has a prosthetic leg now) But every day he takes his new truck and trailer and goes scrapping. He lifts washers and dryers, filing cabinets, etc on to this truck. He doesn't believe he can get in trouble or get caught. Must be nice to get paid for not taking care of yourself.

What if you know that a family member is charge of their MR daughters SSI check and takes 500.00 of her check for the household account and keeps 75.00 in the bank and gives her 150.00 a month for what nots, but the 75.00 never grows in case she needs clothes, shoes, a coat. I feel she is being taken advantage of because she has a sister that lives in this house and doesn't work and has a baby to raise. I think this girl with MR us buying things that this baby needs and with her illness won't say no.

How can they get someone that has worked for cash for over 10 years and has recieved disability and medicare and the business she has worked for the owner says he will deny even paying her if she gets turned in,I worked for the man about 4 months just off and on when one of his employees was out and he needed help i know she gets paid and also over heard him say he would deny it what can they do then?can anything be done? and would it be worth the time even saying anything?I know for a fact with her disability and her cash she earns she makes over 2000 a month more than that some months cause if they sale a lot they get a bonus and in December he gives all his employees 600$ as a bonus for Christmas,can anything be done to him would he have consequences to pay?any advice would be helpful on what I should do

I was just wondering I have a neighbor who told me that she is getting her husbands ssi checks while he is in jail. Is that legal?

What if someone is a drug addict and is using this money to support their habbit, will reporting this stop their benefits?

I know a guy that was in jail almost all his life so when he was in he got schooling to be a master plumber but when he was in jail he lifted weights the hole time so that messed all his joints up so he gets disability and has a plumbing business .so how do I report fraud ?????????

What if someone starts a business with the funds? And with food stamps? With all the comments I've read... it seems that's reporting would be pointless

What if someone is living off there son who is receiving ssi because of his disability and doesn't report the income he makes from buying and selling cars or trucks. The son doesn't see any of his money due to his father using it for other reasons. The son is 19 years old now but still doesn't see his check

How can a married couple, that live together, report different addresses to the SSA just to receive Medicaid and possibly others free benefits and get away with it?

If someone is living mostly in Puerto Rico and only coming back to the states for a month and then goes back to PR and they are collecting SSD is this fraud?

I have a cousin who has been collecting social security for years. She bakes professional cakes, works at a nail salon and takes care of the elderly all for money under the table. Drives a brand new car and new house, yet tells the government she is mentally retarded. All of her business ventures are all over her social media, while hard working tax payers have to struggle just to put food on the table. How can I report her if I do not know her social security number?

I have long suspected that this woman was quite capable of working. For over 25 years now, she has abused the system. When she was let go from her job, she was given $30,000. She did not work. Instead, she tried to get pregnant for a married man. She then went to a fertility doctor and did get pregnant. She had told the man she had been taking the pill. He stopped seeing her immediately. She began receiving assistance. She rented an apt. on 19th St. that she could not afford. After 3 months of non-payment, the landlord was throwing her out. (She asked me to take out a 2nd mortgage and "lend" her $9000)! She eventually got a doctor to claim that she had some ailment (it changes every time I asked) because of a tear when she gave birth. When I questioned that--lots of women work after getting a "tear". She told me that she had to go to the bathroom constantly.
Strange, because I took her to lunch, dinner, and she would be eating and chatting for hours, and not have to go to the bathroom.
I am studying, doing research and traveling now. She knows enough to hack my FaceBook, and then my computer. I had asked her before why she did not get a job on the Internet, with such great skills. She said that her disability payments would stop.
I am now in South America. How might I report this person, who also began to get rent paid yearly by the child's father for over ten years, and still.
Thank you.

We moved our step son in w/ us in June b/c his mother went to jail. We just found out the grandmother has been receiving SSI for my stepson since then. We have him in a different state & have not received any of the money or anything for my stepson. We are in the process of getting the ssi money switched to us but we were told that could take up to 3 more weeks. What happens to all the months that went by where the grandmother was spending the disability money on herself & not the child? Even when he lived up there they did not have him in special programs or counseling. Doesn't that money need to be accounted for? And how will we prove that she hasn't sent any of the money down for the child?

I just saw someone answer that a report cannot be anonymous because a SS# is required of the person reporting. This is not true. I was just on the online report form and it allows 3 options for filing status. If anonymous is selected then you can forgo all of your personal information. However, should the investigation require more information they are unable to make contact. Resulting potentially in loss of ability to provide adequate evidence.

I have not necessarily a question but a scenario:
Subject: female
Age: 53
Diagnosis: brain tumor
Secondary: seizures
Intermittent disorientation
memory loss
chronic fatigue
Status: receives disability
Care giver: her son receives a salary compensation

Not sure what her care planned activity level is. What I do know is her care giver did live in the house but did nothing. He then moved out approx a yr and a half ago. He would visit once a week or less. He does not wash one dish mop one floor or drive her anywhere. She does not have a license to drive but drives herself everywhere.

I have been staying in her home for approx 5 months.
So I originally did things around the house to be helpful until I discovered someone was paid to do that (her son).

I don't know exactly what sort of agreement they have but I do know she takes a good sum of his earnings.

I have told her she is committing fraud, possibly embezzlement, and falsifying documents. She actually clocks him and out via her cell phone whether he is here or not .

What if the person is disabled but still sends the money to another country?

I know someone who has collected for over 35 years and while she did lose her leg in a motorcycle accident 35 years ago, she still rides the motorcycle, she does all her own yard and construction work, she inherited over a million dollars from her mother and she runs a lucrative business under the table. SHE IS NOT in pain, she dos NOT take meds, she is not inn a wheel chair, she has a fake leg she wears every day and she is more active than most people with 2 legs. She has everything for free! How do i know? I lived with the person for 15 years! Miss MONEY BAGS! FREE EVERYTHING!!! ! I want to report this person so bad, she gets 30 grand a year from the government yet has a million dollar inheritance!! Plus she lives on 5 acres and grows pot!!

What if someone has one job and has another and the same hours of the day? Neither job knows that she has another one

So if a mother is receiving child support with her child's name under one last name but receives medicaid, food stamps and ssi disability under a different last name, is this considered fraud?
