In my book, How To Get
Social Security Disability & SSI Disability, at page 26, I advise the
following regarding social media:
“Don’t use social
media, Facebook or You Tube, etc., in ways that can contradict or confuse your
claim of disability.”
I go on to say:
“Remember what may
appear clear to you may be taken out of context or distorted. Posting five or ten-year old photos of
yourself skiing, may make you feel good, but can lead the office of the
inspector general to a different conclusion.”
Now, The New York Times and Huffington Post report that the
Trump Administration has pressured the Social Security Administration to
develop a program to monitor social media particularly for people collecting
disability benefits.
