What started as a push for the VA may now be spreading into America at large, if the Obama Administration has its way. Spurred on by Sandy Hook and other mass shootings, the administration is now pushing for expanding background checks to those who receive Social Security disability checks. Depending on the interpretation, this could affect up to 4.2 million adults, according to the Los Angeles Times.
A potentially large group within Social Security are people who, in the language of federal gun laws, are unable to manage their own affairs due to “marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease.”
There is no simple way to identify that group, but a strategy used by the Department of Veterans Affairs since the creation of the background check system is reporting anyone who has been declared incompetent to manage pension or disability payments and assigned a fiduciary.
If Social Security, which has never participated in the background check system, uses the same standard as the VA, millions of its beneficiaries would be affected. About 4.2 million adults receive monthly benefits that are managed by “representative payees.”
