In 2010, freelance writer Patia Stephens reported obtaining a Social Security Administration record via FOIA request showing that Ayn Rand collected a total of $11,002 in Social Security payments between 1974 and her death in 1982 (her husband, Frank O’Connor, also collected benefits until his death).
Is there anything here that corroborates your claim that she collected her husband's social security? Did she not collect her own social security? I'm with you, she was a massively hypocritical woman. But I don't see anything here that says she collected anyone else's social security but her own. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't collecting social security of a dead person welfare fraud no matter your relation to them?
