X ^ | Elon Musk

The Social Security Database contains 394 million people with eligible social security numbers. The problem is there are only 334 million Americans. Obviously, not all of the additional 60 million are actually collecting social security but clearly some are....

Pay particular attention to the 3rd link. Look at the age brackets and how many are listed as eligible.

There are 20.5 million Americans alive over the age of 100????

I’m sure they will cross-reference Voting Records to SSN’s, and find TONS of Votes, even from 100+year-olds...ROFL

Not reporting the death of a family member is a common way to defraud the SSA. Gotta keep those checks coming in.

I’d wager that if we could just clean up the fraud in SSDI we’d save close to a trillion.

They know who cashed the checks. Claw back the money. If nothin else, seize assets and imprison the frauds.

Need to investigate the funeral homes. It is the funeral homes responsibility to report the deaths to Social Security. When my mom passed away, I was on hold for 45 minutes trying to report her death to Social Security, finally I hung up. I was SO RELIEVED when the funeral home told me they were responsible to report it.

Yes. I know what it means. You should be able to figure it out for yourself.

Elon goes after the 3rd Rail of American Politics.

Should be interesting. I’d be surprised if there isn’t fraud happening in at least 3% of the excess “citizens” with SS numbers.

Not only fraud, but that’s another agency that needs a serious employment trimming.

the irs already has a mechanism in place to do exactly that and almost everyone knows of someone who has suffered at their hands.

There are people out there who seem to be living far beyond what their income would allow.

I know two of them.

People wonder where they get all their money.

They tell us conflicting stories about where they work.

They might be taking “the little trip to Atlanta” as one former inmate used to tell us.

I really thought that sort of thing would happen after 2016. Trump had an awesome data analytics guy on the campaign who should have been able to do things like that to wring a lot of cheat out of the system.

He got taken out with spouse issues, IIRC.

It seems that this chart is Social Security's list of Americans who are alive today. If I'm correct it would mean that their records show that there are 695 people in the US who are between 180 and 189 years old.

Wouldn’t that be crazy if that money was part of the slush fund for the sexual assault victims of Congress///

I hope he tracks down where the money went.
