“When criminals are able to take advantage of Social Security's disability program due to its outdated policies and pay-first chase-later culture, taxpayers and those who count on the vital program end up paying the price. That's wrong! If Social Security wants to regain the public's confidence, it must commit itself to preventing fraud from happening in the first place. It's time for Social Security to protect precious taxpayer dollars. That's why last month, I asked Acting Commissioner Colvin for a plan detailing the immediate actions Social Security is taking to prevent further disability fraud. Hardworking taxpayers want, need, and deserve real action. I look forward to hearing her ideas and those of our other experts.”
