The Inability to Speak English Shouldn’t Qualify as ‘Disability’ for Social Security. Yes, folks. If you “no hablo Ingles” you can by considered disabled and can rape Social Security.
As a former administrative law judge described it, if a claimant were 45 years or older, limited to sedentary work, and claimed an inability to communicate in English, they were a “slam-dunk for benefits.”
That is true even if those applying for benefits reside in an area, such a Puerto Rico, where English is not the predominant language.
The new rule, set to take effect April 27, will end that by eliminating the inability to communicate in English as a qualifying factor in Disability Insurance benefit determinations.

If that is the case, it appears most democrat federal judges would qualify for a lack of understanding of the law.....
Using this logic, all the illegals should just sign up at the border
Many members of Big Media lack the ability to understand or communicate in English, but that doesn't stop them from being overpaid by our overlord class.
We are a republic brought to its knees by faceless bureaucrats.
