Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency announced Sunday that, well, there were a lot of people over the age of 120 still on the Social Security rolls.
A LOT.
That's so many geezers. According to Breitbart, DOGE has been providing regular updates on the growing number of seemingly fraudulent Social Security recipients.
And in the most recent update, delivered last week, DOGE revealed that a total of 12.3 million individuals listed as 120+ years old were now officially marked as deceased in the system.
Back in March, Musk controversially claimed that an alleged 2.1 million illegal immigrants had also enrolled to receive Social Security benefits.
Regarding how that is possible, a coworker of Musk's looking at social security, Anthony Gracias, CEO of Valor Equity Partners, said that the previous administration had a policy that allowed migrants to enter the country and then register for Social Security, Breitbart News reported.
Millions of illegals were registered for Social Security? That's crazy.
What's next, you're going to tell me they were registered to VOTE too?
Is the DOJ going after those who were cashing those checks?
if 12m people were on the list to receive checks...
were the checks sent out?
were they cashed?
if they were cashed... where are the warrants / arrests for those that have been committing social security fraud?
If so, where are the arrests?
My recollection is SS was used by other governmental agencies to verify alive or not, not age, date of birth etc. The fraud was occurring in other systems for food stamps and other fraud, not necessarily SS benefits.
There are plenty of CORRUPT FUNERAL HOMES!! Maybe THEY didn’t do their job!!
This was my understanding as well. Other govt agencies were using SS as the system of record to see if the person was marked alive, not validating age, birth date etc.
Confederate money!.................
I wouldn’t be surprised..................
They don’t use checks any more.
They use Direct Deposit. It’s cheaper.............
Couldn’t they just create an AI that reads COBOL and transfers the code to modern C++ language?............
De Facto Reparations................
This is probably the pool of the numbers that the illegals have been using to game the system. It will be interesting to see what shakes out.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the 110-120 age bracket can also be removed. The five people in the country still alive in that age bracket can re-apply with our apologies.
The SS Laundry is closed.
Still a screwup, though, because it would make fraud easier.
Thank you for your explanation in post no. 20. Lots of people jumping to unwarranted conclusions.
They can still vote, though.
It was a data base.......nothing more. These were not people who were still receiving checks....these were people who were in the SS data base and at one time...did receive checks.
bump
don’t care as long as he continues to vote democrat...
