'If I didn't hear it on the news... I'll be still waiting to see why I'm not getting the check,' said one frozen-out recipient.
DALY CITY, Calif. -- The Employment Development Department has stopped paying hundreds of thousands of disability claims trying to stop a new attack of fraud.
This crackdown is a lot like last year with the massive unemployment fraud: the EDD cuts off benefits and asks questions later. This time, folks struggling with illness lost their income -- and no one's responding at the EDD. "I've been sitting here waiting and waiting and waiting, checking the mail, checking the mail," Phillips said.The EDD believes most are fraudulent, but admits many are legit -- and it can't say how long the truly disabled will have to wait for their money.
"It's like your insides are on fire. And there's so much pain. It's, that's all you're concentrating on," Phillips described. Marston says he only found out about the disability freeze by watching 7 On Your Side's reports on TV."If I didn't hear it on the news... I'll be still waiting to see why I'm not getting the check," he said.
