Social Security Sent $75.8 Million in Funds to Fugitive Felons
(CNSNews.com) - Since 2005, when it first began to crack down on the problem, the Social Security Administration has paid out $75.8 million to fugitive felons receiving payments on behalf of other Social Security beneficiaries. The SSA allows a “representative payee” to accept payments for beneficiaries whose age, mental state or physical condition inhibits their ability to manage their own finances.
