Beware the Obama Disability Scam

I have had several clients ask me about something they came across on the internet or had someone call them and solicit for Obama disability.

This appears to happen when someone signs up for Social Security Disability.

There is no such thing as Obama disability.

The only disability programs available through the Federal government are Social Security Disability and SSI.

Do not talk to anyone who claims to be able to get you money while you wait for application to be processed.

You should also not speak to anyone who solicits you after you have contacted Social Security.

The government is not in any way involved in connecting you with a lawyer or a representative to help you get disability.

You should be the person who seeks the lawyer not the other way around.

If someone contacts you, then you do not know who they are and why they are contacting you.

Do not give them any personal information such as your date of birth, social security number or address.

These appear to be sophisticated scam operations targeting people who are seeking Social Security Disability.

If you have any doubts about people who contact you, then call your local Social Security office or local law enforcement.
