IG Audit: 6.5 Million People With Active Social Security Numbers Are 112 or Older
CNS ^ | 06-09-2015 | By Susan Jones

Many people are living longer, but not to age 112 or beyond -- except in the records of the Social Security Administration.

The SSA's inspector general has identified 6.5 million number-holders age 112 -- or older -- for whom no death date has been entered in the main electronic file, called Numident.

The audit, dated March 4, 2015, concluded that SSA lacks the controls necessary to annote death information on the records of number-holders who exceed "maximum reasonable life expectancies."

"We obtained Numident data that identified approximately 6.5 million numberholders born before June 16, 1901 who did not have a date of death on their record," the report states.

Some of the numbers assigned to long-dead people were used fraudulently to open bank accounts.

“Tens of thousands of these numbers are currently being used to report wages to the Social Security Administration and to the IRS. People are fraudulently, but successfully, applying for jobs and benefits with these numbers. "

Fraud is still being committed....................

There is nothing in the audit information even discussing people using SS number for benefits. It was about people using numbers to get jobs, etc.....If people are fraudulently using the number to get jobs, loans or any damn thing else, they COULD get benefits, denying the original beneficiary of his PAID for allotment. And don’t bullshit me about getting more than you paid in for a LEGAL beneficiary.

As my husband worked in Luxembourg for 13 years, he gets a pension from the Luxembourg government. He also gets a letter every year that requires him to report to the local police department with a photo ID, and then have the form notarized, in order to prove that he is still alive.

What is so difficult about that?

Same here too, 2 days after my father passed, his SS check was automatically deposited into his account. Within a day or so, they went into his account and took back the money that was deposited.

We used a company called The Berwyn Group that would provide us with a monthy report of our retirees who were deceased but our company showed still alive and receiving benefits.

You'd be surprised how many of our retirees had died and their relatives or care takers continued to cash their pension checks.

I remember one case where a surviving spouse had died and her sister continued cashing her survivor pension check for about five years to the tune of about $25,000.

Once we busted her, we threatened her with legal action and scared her into agreeing to a monthly repayment plan. That only lasted a couple months till the payments stopped and we never heard from her again. Since she lived out of state, there wasn't a financially feasible or legal thing we could do to recover those overpayments.......

So if you die on the 31st you gotta give it back?.

Yep - even if you croak at 11:59pm....they suck back the entire month of benefit.

Hilarious! I can see it now.

Caller: “Buenos Dias Senor, my nang is Mildred Whitebread, where is my sheck?”

SS: “Ms Whitebread, our records show you’re 101, How are you getting along these days?”

Caller: “Bueno. where is my sheck?”

SS: “Ms Whitebread, uh, we’re gonna have to ask you to come to the Social Security Office to pick up your check.”

Caller: “Oh Dios Mios, unhhhh, no. Is no posseebla.” “I have little ninos to take care of... Is no possebla.”

It’s actually worse than that. They pay you one month in arrears, so you were alive for the full month when you earned that check.

He or she was stored in a back room, mummified, and had been dead at least ten years.

That's the key to this fraud: make sure the dead guy does not pass through the hands of a licensed undertaker. Otherwise, the SSN must be provided and will be duly reported to the SSA, terminating SS and pension payouts. See Form SSA-721.
