How to Report Disability Cheaters

Whenever you have become aware of a person faking his disability claim, it is your responsibility to notify the authorities of the criminal behavior. Whether it be a job-related claim, or a personal claim of an inability to work, the Social Security Administration needs to be made aware of the person in question's dishonesty. The SSA makes it possible for you to report these claims by filling out an online form with all the necessary information needed to investigate the possible fraudulent activity. Reporting the fraud can take less than five minutes.
