Social Security Disability: Your Tax Dollars at Work
JUDGE JUDY: What do want disability for?
CHRISTOPHER CASEY: Learning disability. When I’m out on a job, I can’t properly be as quick as normal people can. That’s when all this bicker backer started. I’m slow.
JUDGE JUDY: But you just worked and you want money. You can’t do that. How much money do you collect from Social Security?
JUDGE JUDY: $762, your Honor.
JUDGE JUDY: A month?
CHRISTOPHER CASEY: Yes.
JUDGE JUDY: And how long have you been collecting $762?
CHRISTOPHER CASEY: Since June 13th of 2003. That’s when all this bicker backer started.
JUDGE JUDY: How old are you?
CHRISTOPHER CASEY: 28.
JUDGE JUDY: What did you do before that?
CHRISTOPHER CASEY: Before I got on Social Security?
JUDGE JUDY: Yes.
CHRISTOPHER CASEY: I had jobs.
JUDGE JUDY: Doing what?
CHRISTOPHER CASEY: I worked at Burger King, and I worked for a temp agency. I worked for them for quite a while.
JUDGE JUDY: And you worked him in semi-construction, whipping up carpet, doing manual labor, right?
CHRISTOPHER CASEY: Yes, your Honor.
JUDGE JUDY: Does your Social Security disability permit you to make money on the side?
CHRISTOPHER CASEY: They don’t care. If you get it in a check –
JUDGE JUDY: They don’t care?
CHRISTOPHER CASEY: If you get it in a check, then they take it from your Social Security check for what you make.
JUDGE JUDY: But if you get it in cash?
CHRISTOPHER CASEY: If you get it in cash, then they’re not worried about it.
(LAUGHTER)
CHRISTOPHER CASEY: I had… I had…
JUDGE JUDY: No, it’s not that they’re not worried about it. If you get it in cash, they don’t know about it.
CHRISTOPHER CASEY: That’s when all this bicker backer started.
SPEAKER: Judge Judy continues in a moment.
HERMAN DORKVANDER: Hello, friends. I’m Doctor Herman Dorkvander. If you’re tired of working 8 to 5 like the rest of us, the Claim Institute can help you get off your feet today. Our non-certified medical staff will help you discover disease you never thought existed, but the end result is that you must go on permanent disability until medical science can find a cure.
SPEAKER: Judge Judy continues.
JUDGE JUDY: Well, you want Social Security disability as well?
AMANDA CASEY: Yes, I am.
JUDGE JUDY: For what reason?
AMANDA CASEY: I got learning disability and I don’t even work.
JUDGE JUDY: And what?
AMANDA CASEY: I don’t even work.
CHRISTOPHER CASEY: Or bicker backer was starting to occur.
JUDGE JUDY: Do you take any medication?
AMANDA CASEY: No.
AMANDA CASEY: You are not permitted to work. It’s against the law for you to work for cash. Why are you collecting Social Security disability? As far as I can hear from what you’re telling me, sir, you are smart enough to know that you get paid in cash.
You get paid in cash from him, you get paid in cash for these friends who you helped move furniture for, so you’re doing a lot of favors for a lot of friends in the hope of supplementing your Social Security disability.
Do we understand each other? I think that you are smart enough to understand that, right?
CHRISTOPHER CASEY: Yes, your Honor.
JUDGE JUDY: Yeah, sure you are.
