If you don't utilize the IRS to determine how much money a person makes, then how are you going to efficiently know which seniors and which people on disability should be entitled to the money?

I don't know anyone who receives ss that doesn't also file tax returns.

The person who handled my taxes when I was a working girl told me outright if the only income I was getting was Social Security Disability, I didn't NEED to file.

I heard directly on the newscast last night with my own ears - people getting paid by Social Security Disability will not need to fill out any more tax forms of any kind to file. The government decided they had enough information to submit these individual's checks without further paperwork.

Sounds like the problem already took care of itself.
