Neighbor wants to report disability fraud

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

You could also send a report by mail to: Social Security Fraud Hotline/PO Box 17785/ Baltimore, MD 21235.

The Office of Inspector General encourages people to report suspected fraud, waste, and abuse of tax dollars. I assume this office relies heavily on suspicious, spiteful, or fed-up neighbors, family members, or former colleagues to do so. I don't see this as a particularly challenging ethical dilemma, but I suggest you do your best to get your facts straight before filing your report.

Dear Amy: An opportunity has presented itself, and I'm not sure if I am wrong to want to pursue it -- or how to handle it.

My husband and I might have the opportunity to pick up a new job a few hours away from where we currently live. This would require a move to where we would be closer to friends and family. We've both talked about this before, but we haven't committed to relocating yet.

The issue is that, although I am nervous about the whole thing, I can't pin down whether my husband really wants to go or is just placating me with a yes and then hoping I forget about it.

We've discussed the pros and cons of this move, and his major worry is starting over at a new job after six years at our current jobs.

 

While I'm not keen to start a new job, this move is something I've been wanting for the past couple years now, and this time around, it just seems right to me.

I'm not sure if I should keep bringing it up to him and don't know how to approach it.
