Disability Insurers Flood Social Security Disability

by

The NYT has an article on two whistleblower lawsuits directed against insurers for requiring beneficiaries to apply for Social Security disability, even when they would not qualify, as a condition of being paid benefits. This can both mean unnecessary harassment for beneficiaries and also excessive paperwork demands on Social Security. This is the sort of reporting that newspapers are supposed to do.
