Lutnick Says Only Fraudsters Worry About Missed Checks

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick raised alarm over “fraudsters” receiving Social Security benefits, The Hill reports.

Lutnick said that if Social Security “didn’t send out their checks this month,” his “mother-in-law, who’s 94, she wouldn’t call and complain.”

He added: “She’d think something got messed up, and she’ll get it next month. A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling and complaining.”
