In the past two years I have known two people, both white women, who were bilking social security disability. One clamied a 'bad back' that would not allow her to stand at a job, or sit at a job. However, she was able to sit at her home computer all day doing geneology research, and didn't seem to interfere with anything else she wanted to do. The other was recieving benefits for being blind, but had a valid drivers license and worked part time as a waitress. Both were finally caught, but only after someone complained. A few more checks in the system would save a boatload of money.
