Maybe a couple of them, but not al of them. Lots of scammers looking
for a fee handout. Fortunately, it is not all that easy to collect
unless you really do have problems.

First time I saw this was back in the 1970's where a woman was on the
payroll and paid into SS, but here husband did the actual work. Took
a few years, but she eventually collected. She did have a problem,
but could not have qualified under other conditions. Could have done
other work, but chose not to.
