| 'Philly Mom Who Spent $25K on Black Panther-Themed Prom Party Accused of Disability Fraud |
| 2018-08-16 |
| [Breitbart] The Philadelphia mom who gave her son a $25,000 African-themed prom party replete with camels has been accused of illegally taking tens of thousands in disability payments. Saudia Shuler, 44, made news last week for throwing the lavish prom party, which included camels, a black panther, and costumed characters from the Marvel superhero film Black Panther. But after her notoriety, city officials began looking into Shuler’s finances and are now charging her with defrauding the city of tens of thousands in disability payments, according to ABC 6. On Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney for Philadelphia charged Shuler with wire fraud, theft of government funds, and Social Security fraud. Prosecutors said Shuler signed up for disability benefits saying she is unable to work, even though she is not disabled. They also noted that she has been working in a fast food business during the time she said she could not work and that she took at least $36,000 in disability payments. "There’s evidence she defrauded the government, and no matter who you are the government brings charges," Beth Leahy, deputy chief of Health Care Fraud, told the media. |

| #4 Did she have Disney's permission to use their characters? At the rate things are going, it won't be long before Disney makes a new princess modeled on her. |

| #2 Sorry Beso, it's not new at all. I got hired to work for SSA 44 years ago when SSI was first implemented. A whole lot of us young'uns were needed to handle the grand-fathered population of NYC. Within a week of the office opening there was a table in the lobby by some welfare scam group telling folks how to game the system. The 3 reasons for SSI are blind, elderly and disabled. The first two are hard to fake, that last one though....... it got more sophisticated but in the beginning there were the 3 As. Angina, Arthritis, Asthma that were used as excuses for not working. To top it all off, the NYC welfare dept. made every client they had apply for SSI or they would get cut off. I've got lots of stories about that time but they're too long to go into. |
