Not going to get personal but suffice it to say someone I know who is mentally challenged is applying for SSDI. he got a scam call yesterday saying your case was approved and we need your bank account. He gave it to them.

There is no way someone random calling would know he was waiting for a determination unless it was an “inside job” and I have no doubt that someone has access to data they should not have access too because of DOGE.
