Hundreds of people with active Missouri driver’s licenses are collecting from a pension fund set up for blind residents, Gov. Eric Greitens said Friday in alleging widespread abuse of the system.
An investigation by the Department of Social Services and the Department of Revenue had flagged 436 people using the fund who also had driver’s licenses, Greitens said in a statement. The Department of Social Services is now investigating at least 100 of those cases, including one person with a commercial driver’s license and another who was charged with driving while intoxicated.
