If an injury means you are not at work and you are claiming federal disability payments, the Trump administration may want to check your social media accounts to see what you are posting.

But some Democrats are pushing back.

Sherrod Brown, Senator of Ohio, and Bob Casey, Senator from Pennsylvania, sent two letters requesting answers on the proposed new social media policy.

"They spend their money on social media trying to catch a disabled person dancing at his daughter's wedding," said Brown.

In response, Senators received a letter from the Social Security Commissioner stating: "We are evaluating how disability adjudicators could use social media to badess the consistency and sustainability of the evidence presented. by the applicant. "

Rachel Greszler of the Conservative Heritage Foundation supports the proposal.

"It is not a question of hanging out and trying to eliminate everyone. It's more about detecting the real fraud in the situation, "said Greszler.

The Trump administration said that no final decision as to whether or how to do that had been taken.

"Most people with social security disabilities want to work but can not work. Something happened in their life or in their workplace, and we will make their life more difficult? Brown said.

The other side gave a different argument.

"You have a candidate coming in and the doctor says he can not stay more than an hour and you see though that he's where he just ran a marathon," he said. Greszler.
