4 Admissions Of Social Security Fraud In April Alone Show Waste And Abuse Are Real

While media cries about Trump eradicating fraud, and protesters punish Musk over DOGE findings, Social Security cons are plentiful.

When Elon Musk announced in February that there were 10 million Social Security numbers belonging to holders apparently aged 120 years and older, instead of acknowledging the great potential for fraudulent activity, the corporate media downplayed the concerns. They insisted that Social Security fraud is “not very common” and maligned the Trump administration’s efforts to purge the federal government of waste and abuse.

However, multiple instances of Social Security fraud confirmed in April alone are a reminder that the system has enabled abuse for years.

In late March, DOGE announced that, following a “major cleanup” of records, 9.9 million number holders listed with ages 120 years and older “have now been marked deceased.” (While people do live past 100, the oldest person who ever lived in modern times was Jeanne Louise Calment, of France, who died in 1997 at 122 years old.)

Corporate media and so-called experts have claimed that the listed ages of these centenarian number holders may be the result of “coding quirks” in the system and that efforts to mark these number holders as deceased could lead to more errors. But this does not change the fact that unused Social Security numbers marked as live are ripe for fraud.

What can you do with a spare Social Security number? You could register to vote again or sign up for social welfare, like housing, health insurance, cash assistance, and SNAP. Noncitizens can get a job, and of course, collect Social Security retirement or disability benefits.

Last month, a White House fact sheet, citing an inspector general report from 2024, noted how “The Social Security Administration made an estimated $72 billion in improper payments between 2015 and 2022.”

It was evident from the DOGE findings that there is a huge amount of garbage data that has accumulated in the Social Security system. Given that fact, the mainstream media claims to “know” that there was little or no corruption are absolute garbage: You can’t know how much corruption there is until you sort through all the garbage data and get it cleaned up. So it was just pure bias and propaganda for them to issue a clean bill of health, in effect, to the Social Security program at that point.

SS numbers are supposed to be deleted when a person dies! But wait, we have TWO AI answers. Both from Google.

A Social Security number is not active after death. Once a death certificate is processed, the Social Security Administration (SSA) updates its records and the number is essentially deactivated, preventing its use in transactions. This process aims to protect against fraud and identity theft. While some transactions might occur briefly before the death certificate is processed, the Social Security Administration will ultimately update its records and the deceased’s Social Security number will no longer be used for benefits or other purposes.
............................

No, Social Security numbers (SSNs) are not automatically deleted upon a person’s death. While a deceased person’s SSN cannot be used for transactions, the number is not removed from the Social Security Administration’s records.
Here’s why and what happens with SSNs after death:
Death is reported to the SSA: When a person dies, their death is reported to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
SSA updates Death Master File: The SSA updates its Death Master File with the deceased person’s name and SSN.
SSN cannot be used for transactions: The SSA then prevents the deceased person’s SSN from being used for any further transactions, such as bank accounts or receiving benefits.
SSN is not re-assigned: The SSA does not reassign the SSN to another person after death.
SSNs are kept on record: The SSN remains in the SSA’s records, even after the individual’s death.
Death certificates include SSN: While some information on death certificates is redacted, the SSN itself may still be included for administrative purposes, as per law.

WH fact sheets note, “SS made some $7 Billion in improper payments between 2015-2022.”
<><>DOGE showed 9.9 million SS holders listed as aged 120 years and older
<><>btw, the ages snag are just “coding quirks”
<><>unused SS numbers marked as “live” are ripe for fraud.
<><>a Social Security no gets you many tax-paid benefits
<><>signs you up for molto payouts,
<><>gets you state housing, health insurance, cash assistance, and welfare.
<><>Noncitizens get jobs,
<><>ride the gravy train,
<><>collect Social Security, retirement, and disability benefits.
<><>registers you to vote again and again.

Just too good,and much of it leads to more and more voter fraud as well as funding all the wrong people.
