It’s not easy to fraudulently collect WC. You’d have to have a shady doctor and when sent to your impartial 3rd party exam you’d have to be really good at faking it.
I’ve worked claims with a major retailer that had a warehouse in Ohio. We had a whole team of investigators and lawyers and we met twice a month going through each case. Getting people back to work on modified duty or full duty was the goal. We’d settle when we had to but knew we did our best. Lots of people got hurt and most deserved the benefit.
Most smaller companies don’t have hired 3rd party claims management teams and end up with higher experience ratings because they just don’t have the resources to fight when needed.

There's a lot more disabled people getting no help than there are healthy people scamming the system. If it's fraud it's fraud and can't be tolerated. But focusing on the bad actors somehow causes people to forget that we can do much better for those who need help.

You missed the part at the end where I said "NECESSARILY". Most do, some don't. We're not doctors or therapists so we can't judge..
Just saying they don't "need" to be up at the front row necessarily if they have the physical ability to ski or hike or whatever..
Here's another fun fact. Some of the disabled folks DON'T want special treatment when not absolutely necessary and that is almost never for them. It's really cool that you volunteer to work with adaptive folks at the resorts. Doesn't give you a pass to be a dick. Other than that, back to time out for you.Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

That's mostly what I was referencing, but this political football of manufacturing jobs, and coal, and other bullshit where people work harder not smarter is fucking tiring.
That's why we're supposed to have an education system, job retraining, and finally welfare.
And whoever said that shit about a town being 100% invested in one company or sector being a recipe for disaster is spot on. Just look at Butte. They went all in on a copper mining operation that totally destroyed the place and now it's a dump. At least they're trying. Instead of harping on tax cuts and low skill jobs as some kind of viable solution they have cultural events and other things. And there are way way worse places to live. I suppose Detroit is the best example.
Anyway, fuck your factory, fuck your coal mine, and fuck your small town. If it didn't suck, it wouldn't be a small town anymore.

Any more comments on Big Brother monitoring the social media posts of people collecting Social Security Disability? Personally, I think it's bullshit. People with a legitimate physical or mental barrier to the ability to earn a living and holding a steady job shouldn't have to live in fear of not being allowed to have any fun or leisure life. In fact, participating in these activities aren't just about having fun. They could be putting these folks on the path to being more "able" and getting off the public dole.
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

as someone who as zero social media in their life
I mean I do post anonymously on tgr and have many dating profiles that are more or less anonymous, because there is not a last name.....
but that's about it
I do look at social media occasionally, but it's pretty limited
the take away is......
people are absolute idiots when they post stuff, either you try to make yourself look better off physically/mentally/emotionally/wealthy than you really are, or you post stupid ass shit
since people are idiots online they get what they deserve
if they robbed me of a WC claim or are skimming the system so they can post stuff about their ski vacation when they can't work because of a bad back, then there is nothing wrong with it

I didn't read the whole thread, but I will note that videos of me skiing would likely help rather than hurt my case for workman's comp.
