There are big problems with this huge number of “extra” SSA numbers. Aside from asking exactly how do they know how many are receiving SSA payments when their record keeping is so bad. I am not comforted. Consider reports of US Treasury paying out money to every request, ignoring the Do Not Pay registry, how do we know? “. “The active SSNs, appearing valid in the system, enable fraudsters to apply for and receive a panoply federal, state, and local benefits, like PPP loans.” I would add illegal voting could really benefit from all these extra SS cards. CYA but their A is too too big.
As stated elsewhere, I believe the left was ready to pounce on DOGE when they started to cut-off SSA benefits.
Elon didn’t take the bait...
