Federal disability: Disclosure of records leads to standoff in Washington - chicagotribune.com: "Reporting from Washington—

The position taken by the Health and Human Services Department has resulted in a standoff with congressional investigators, who want to flush out cases of people who obtain jobs while collecting federal disability payments. That could be a violation of law under certain circumstances."
