Social Security Horror Stories

"Social Security, our nation's beloved institution, has an extremely dark and dangerous side. It determines and pays out benefits only to claw them back years or decades later because of its own mistakes... The demands range from 100 to over 100,000. Clawback victims can be any of us: the elderly who rely solely on Social Security, retired schoolteachers, or 5-year old orphans collecting survivors benefits. But clawbacks are just part of the system's hidden malevolence. Social Security is running a series of scams, many targeted at women, and all costing recipients a small fortune in benefits they deserve. Yes, this book is scary. But is also conveys simple ways to protect yourself from clawbacks and scams."--Page 4 of cover.
