Welcome to Season 1, Episode 41 of Winning Isn't Easy: Navigating Your Social Security Disability Claim. In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "Social Security Myths: Fraud, Immigrants, and Inmates - What’s Really Going On."
Most people hear the same viral stories about Social Security - “deadbeat fraudsters gaming the system,” “illegal immigrants draining benefits,” or “prisoners collecting checks from their cells.” These narratives spread quickly through headlines and social media, creating the impression that Social Security is overflowing with abuse. But the truth is far more nuanced. Fraud exists, but it’s rare, and the sensational cases you see in the news are the exception. Undocumented workers aren’t bankrupting the system; many actually pay into it knowing they’ll never receive benefits. And prisoners do not continue getting checks while incarcerated. In this episode of Winning Isn’t Easy, Nancy L. Cavey cuts through the noise to explain what’s really happening. She breaks down how Social Security evaluates disability claims, how contributions and eligibility work for citizens and non-citizens, and what the regulations actually say about fraud, incarceration, and repayment. Nancy also explores why these myths persist and how misunderstanding the system harms the people it’s meant to support. You’ll walk away with a clearer view of how Social Security functions, the safeguards already in place, and the facts behind the headlines. Understanding the truth is the first step. Let’s dive in.
In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:
One - Are There Really Deadbeat Frauds Collecting Social Security Disability?
Two - Are Illegal Immigrants Bankrupting Social Security?
Three - Are Prisoners Collecting Social Security and Bankrupting the System?
Whether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey. Don't miss it.
