Oh dear.

Millions Improperly Claimed U.S. Phone Subsidies

quote:

A review of five top recipients of Lifeline support conducted by the FCC for the Journal showed that 41% of their more than six million subscribers either couldn't demonstrate their eligibility or didn't respond to requests for certification.



I wonder if the lady who gave the program a new name was reporting her income from paid political activism work?

Rich, I am seriously trying to reduce my bills.

Do you know how I can get an Obamaphone?

I could save a lot of $$$$.

Please, see if I can get an Obama/I-phone.

I loves my IPhone, it's a luxury I am used to.

Thanks in advance.

Find a seriously messed up homeless person on SSI or a VA disabilty, and sign up in their name. Once the contract is established, take in the iPhone you already have, and purchase a separate data plan.




Marini -> RE: The election is over - give back the Obamaphone (2/15/2013 10:23:58 PM)

Dang Rich, how do YOU know so much about this?

Do YOU have an Obamaphone?

No. I got my iPhone for 50 cents, when we renewed the contract. [:D]

You've got mail.

Y'all do realize that that program was introduced under Reagan and the free cell phone program started under Dubya don't you?

Of course. And the explosion of the program is a much more recent development. 41%, positive for fraud, or failed to comply with documentation requirements.

Did you have a point?

AT&T hadn't detected the ineligible subscribers because customers self-certified under old rules and because some states required the company to provide Lifeline service to people enrolled in certain state assistance programs, according to a person familiar with the company's thinking.

..........

The agency pushed through new rules last year, requiring documentation when a Lifeline customer signs up. Consumers also must certify that no one else in their households is using the program. Carriers now have to check a state or federal social-service database to confirm eligibility and must reverify eligibility every year.

Makes me wonder why it hasnt been this way from the start up.

My point is that the word "Obamaphone" is inaccurate and it is still called that deliberately even though the person knows better. I'd say what a deliberate misstatement is defined as according to Webster but the Mods don't allow that any more.[8|]

The only problem is that if it were called a Reagan/Dubyaphone (as it properly is) the FOX-watching mouthbreathers wouldn't have anything else to mindlessly spout.

(well actually, they would but they'd have to think for a few seconds and that taxes their systems)

Yeah, the teabagger deregulation horseshit has sort of not worked out in the Randian way they as usual untutoredly thought it should.

 




Lucylastic -> RE: The election is over - give back the Obamaphone (2/16/2013 9:04:22 AM)

So who are these people applying for and getting obama phones...OMG not people on welfare/disability/pensions or the people living in poverty???
GASP you mean... freeloaders of a different kind? just decent hardworking americans? who are defrauding the system?[8|]

So that would be a "no" then, on having a point. The program was rechristened by a paid democrat activist who ran her fat fucking mouth in front of the wrong camera, and something new went viral on the internet. Welcome to the 21st century. That sort of thing happens.

You want to call it a Reaganphone? Spiffy. It's still an excellent example of how a well-intended assistance program can be exploited and abused. 41%, Hillwilliam. Now granted, some of those who didn't respond to the documentation demand are going to be among the most needy, and worst off, who simply aren't functional enough to meet the requirement, but there will be plenty of welfare lifers who know to have the right papers in order, too, and all the extra household members with the aid will be able to document that they have self-declared themselves "homeless."

41%, Hill.

Now a quick-witted lib might take the opportunity to suggest that this can be taken as a sign that the administration is not going to tolerate fraud, but there are only a few of those here. The DIACF gaggle certainly can't be expected to get beyond bile, and talking points.




DomKen -> RE: The election is over - give back the Obamaphone (2/16/2013 11:17:33 AM)

41% were ineligible or did not respond. Not 41% were ineligible.




Lucylastic -> RE: The election is over - give back the Obamaphone (2/16/2013 6:26:28 PM)

talk about pot calling the kettle black Rich.
I would get a docs appointment for your BRD if I were you, you seem a little full of it yourself, especially after reading your posts in the last couple of days
You are'nt exactly rabbiting about anything other than talking points yourself either.




TheHeretic -> RE: The election is over - give back the Obamaphone (2/16/2013 6:33:27 PM)

Don't go making me the subject of the thread, Lucy. The mods take a dim view of that.
Oh wait. Nevermind.





Lucylastic -> RE: The election is over - give back the Obamaphone (2/16/2013 6:49:24 PM)

And I should stick to the topic when you are blowing bile at everyone else who posts or might post if they happen to be a dem/lib
ill take the slap, go ahead report me.

Got a thought on rampant fraud in government aid programs, Lucy?
