There is an entire industry built on catching people committing workers compensation fraud and personal injury fraud. An insurance company is willing to pay someone like me 4000 + expenses dollars to watch a guy for 5 days. These types of fraud are 80% of private investigator cases. It is so common, that anyone whoever gets a settlement from a private company or goes on workers comp should expect to be spied on at least twice a year for the rest of their lives for the settlement or the length of the workers comp, even though half the spy cases turn up nothing, which of course does not mean there is no fraud, it just means your 5 days might not have been the right ones to watch if there was fraud. If these insurance companies were losing more money spying on people than they were getting back in recouped settlements and denial of benefits, then they would stop hiring PIs. But they don't.

Sorry, I don't have any percentages. But the above is just workers comp and injury settlements. The effort the government expends to stop welfare fraud and SSDI fraud is minimal after you initially get the award, they maybe cross reference W2s and send out a social worker from time to time.

What do you think I did in between my deployments? I had 3 months to burn. You don't actually think I worked, did you? I went on unemployment. I paid into it, afterall. 3 months. Never looked for a job, never had to prove a thing, never even talked to a human being to get it, just did it all online. Got drunk every day and played video games. There is no doubt in my mind I could have done all that for another 12 months. Hell, if I had tits and a vagina and a couple of babies with different fathers (who I had hide when the social worker came, of course) I would be getting all kinds of cheddar.

My entire extended family is like what I just described above. I know A LOT of people who I am unrelated to who sell weed for a living and are on welfare. And this is just my personal experience.

Gotta be more than 1%. You have an awful lot of faith in humanity. It may not cost even a fraction of what the rich parasites get a way with, but it is, at the core, the same type of person.
