Would This Be Workable?

     From Florida Daily : Three members of the Florida delegation are championing a proposal to have state courts notify the federal government when guardians are removed in order to keep them from collecting Social Security benefits. At the end of last week, U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist , D-Fla., introduced the � Senior Guardianship Social Security Protection Act � which will direct �state courts to notify the Social Security Administration (SSA) when a court-appointed guardian is removed for cause, so they can be blocked from collecting Social Security benefits on behalf of the seniors under their care." Two other members of the Florida delegation�Republican U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis and Democrat U.S. Rep. Darren Soto �are cosponsoring the proposal. ...      I wouldn't count on getting really good compliance if this is passed.
