Some adjusters at certain Insurance Companies are reportedly overzealous in referring their Companies' Policyholders to Social Security if the Policyholders file for Health Insurance benefits or Worker's Compensation Insurance or similar Insurance benefits.
In more cases than may reportedly be appropriate, they require their Claimants-Policyholders to apply for Social Security benefits, in some instances reportedly even if the Claimants-Policyholders are not eligible for Social Security benefits.
In the interim, these same few adjusters reportedly keep both the number of Claims and their Company's Insurance Policy Payments down. This recent newspaper reporting on these allegations of Claims, and Payments/Nonpayments is a result of "lawsuits filed by whistle-blowers" in the wake of such matters: Mary Williams Walsh, "Insurers Faulted as Overloading Social Security" p. A1, col. 6 (New York Times Nat'l Ed., Tuesday, April 1, 2008).
