I come from a State with a 14-percent unemployment rate, and I have known of very few people who are not desperately looking for work who are unemployed.

And if not, tell us if there needs to be a change in the law.

Do you recommend that the Social Security Administration investigate these 20 cases?

It cannot be that you just send some money and get a driver's license renewed without a physical exam.

I think when you go as far as you have gone with the matching--I do not see any reason why you should not be able to share that information.

But we also have a choice this year as to whether we put in the budget request--whether we adopt the budget requested by the Administration, I assume, for these efforts.

OK, that is what I want to get to, the definition of fraud.

I think the issue is whether or not--we will wait to hear from them, but whether or not there is an overstatement.

I do not think overpayments are unavoidable in the Federal Government.

The purpose of today's hearing, which was initiated at the request of Senator Coburn, is to strengthen stewardship of our disability programs.

Does that sound about right?

We need that watchdog.

Nor do they purport to be.

Shouldn't we allow you to forward those to the Social Security Administration?

You made the allegation. There may be a flat-wrong conclusion.

I assume that is true around the country that you are trying to get these backlogs down.

There is an obligation to notify the Social Security Administration if somebody gets employment.

Fraud ought to be commonly defined or told to us that there is a difference on this.

What conclusions in the report are flat wrong?

In other words, you must in all the States, have a doctor look at you every 2 years.

We have to put the resources where they should be going.

A number of us signed a letter--it is a bipartisan letter--on this funding issue on the staffing levels.

I am not sure there is a definition of fraud that is different between you and the GAO.

That is not going to cut the mustard.

You sponsored a bill called the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act of 2010.
