Why? I support social programs, I accept some inefficiencies and waste.
In general I think small waste is not worth the energy to be concerned about if the benefit is huge.
That said, I think means testing is a waste of everyone's time. Just provide the benefits to everyone -- it simplifies the process of providing the benefit.
