Want to know why many of you will not collect your SS benefits?

Why is this not on the alphabet news or the NYT?

---

Because it is a bookkeeping issue and no one is getting paid who shouldn't.

Findings
SSA needs to improve controls to ensure it (a) records
individual representative payees’ SSNs in its payment records and
(b) retains the application for representative payees who do not
have an SSN. Based on our random sample, we estimate that
150,257 beneficiaries had an individual representative payee who
had a valid SSN that SSA should have recorded on the MBR/SSR.
Of these, 26,912 beneficiaries had representative payees whom,
according to eRPS, SSA had terminated or not selected. From
October 2004 to September 2016, SSA paid these representative
payees about $853.1 million. Furthermore, unless it takes
corrective action, we estimate SSA will pay these representative
payees about $189.6 million in benefits annually.
In addition, we estimate that 22,426 beneficiaries had an individual
representative payee who did not have an SSN, and SSA had not
followed its policy to retain the paper application. These
representative payees were not in eRPS. From April 2006 to
September 2016, SSA paid these representative payees about
$1 billion. Furthermore, unless it takes corrective action, we
estimate SSA will pay these representative payees about
$182.5 million in benefits annually.

I practice before the Social Security Administration and a representative payee is similar to a tutor or a tutrix. They are paid the benefits and the law imposes they use the money for the benefit of the beneficiary. There are accounting and bookkeeping requirements and they can be audited. They can also face criminal charges if they misuse the money.

The bolded part of your quote doesn't mean what the OP thinks it means.

I know one thing, the disability program is out of control. Big problem.

They cannot spell Billion right in the article. Just wow....

What exactly is $1 Bullion.

They absolutely did

I made a thread about this yesterday and linked a Fox News story (on phone now, not linking, but will later, or you can search my threads)

Most of this was to people collecting for others

so a billion over a decade? what is that as a % of total payments over the same period? hard to sign off on this being the death blow vs. the current gap of beneficiaries to payees .
