Drug testing for people receiveing welfare & social soc benefits

Who would I contact in my state about mandatory drug testing on people receiveing welfare or social security benefits under retirement age?
I work, & am required to take random drug tests, I have no problem with that. But why do people receiveing benefits from my pay check not have to take drug testing? I think this would be a very good idea.
Or not?

They actually have online services or fraud phone numbers you can call to report:

SS fraud: http://www.ssa.gov/oig/hotline/

For welfare fraud, yo'll have to contact your county/state Department of Public Social Services Welfare Fraud Prevention & Investigation.

Good for you looking out for not only our tax dollars, but someone who is taking advantage of a system I would gladly pay for someone who needs it!

Let me re-phrase.
I do not know anyone frauding welfare or ss disability, I just think it would be a good idea to drug test all who apply or are on assistance.
If you cannot pass a drug test, you do not get benefits, same as I, do not pass a drug test, loose my job.
Who would I contact about a possible law? My county? Congressman? Senator?

I totally get you on this one ,,,why should we pay for them to do drugs ,,,,,,,,,,,And I agree with you and I also think welfare should be much harder to get especially for able bodied men and woman ...I was a single mom with 7 kids for many years ,,till this wonder man came into my life and has helped us ...And let me tell you it was hard and at times I worked 3 jobs ,, If I can struggle and do it why are others allowed to just lay back and collect my hard earned money ...... GOD BLESS AND I"M WITH YOU
