First you need some phony Mexican birth certificates and a green card, or even better Haitian birth certificates. You tell them you have 12 kids, don't know who their fathers are and you weigh 600 pounds and can't work cause your knees, feet and back hurt. You get that backed up by a big city doctor who get a kickback from you. Since you can do most anything online these days I don't think they will ever know exactly who you are except you do have to have a valid address.

If you do legitimately apply for Social Security they deny just about everyone the first time. A lot of people have gone broke before getting the first check.

They are supposed to investigate disability claims and some people who fake it get arrested. Businesses that pay disability for workers hire people to go out and film people on disability.

I have seen lots of fakers. I remember a women who claimed special benefits because she couldn't walk and she had legs like a dancer. Someone noticed and she got bounced. I worked at a supermarket and saw a lot of fakers there. I like the people who don't know how to walk with a cane. I find it interesting that a lot of people who can't walk well buy trucks and SUVs that are difficult for normal people to get in and out.

I remember the days of corporate medical departments who would say you could work whatever your condition.
