The Social Security Administration (SSA) has approved hundreds of Puerto Ricans’ disability applications because they don’t speak English. Even though Puerto Rico is not an English-speaking territory.
According to a new audit by the Office of Inspector General (OIG), the agency is misapplying rules that are intended to provide financial assistance to individuals who are illiterate or cannot speak English in the United States. Under the rules, Puerto Ricans are allowed to receive disability benefits for their inability to speak English as well. “We found the Agency did not make exceptions regarding the English-language grid rules for claimants who reside in Puerto Rico, even though Spanish is the predominant language spoken in the local economy,” the OIG said.
The audit said a person applying for disability in Puerto Rico who cannot speak English “may increase his/her likelihood of receiving disability benefits.” The agency does not currently have a system in place to keep track of the number of beneficiaries who receive disability insurance for not being able to speak English.
You know, it would be so much more honest, and I would be so much more comfortable with it, if they would just be like “everyone who has brown skin is disabled, thus they must all be given free everything forever due to this horrible disability to genetic inferiority.”
From there, we would be able to have an actual discussion about what is going on in the world.
