...Ongoing issues with the computer system used by the Social Security Administration led to a scary, but false warning being issued to millions of beneficiaries. According to The Washington Post, many of the 7.4 million people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits were warned last week that they were “currently not receiving payments...

... The problems come as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by billionaire Elon Musk, has ordered a 50 percent staff cut to the technology division that is responsible for the website, the Post reports.

My speculative guess, an activist liberal disgruntled employee likely created the communication and pushed it to sabotage the Administration.

A false warning, just like the false missile warning in Hawaii in 2016.

Definitely propaganda.

The article says '"many" of the...', and then they give a large number. Implying, without saying, that there were millions of people told they would no longer receive benefits, but no one is quoted.

Exactly. 40% of Fed employees said they are there to create havoc. To stop Trumps agenda. They’re not Public Servants.. They are “progressive “ activists. They are termites in the foundation of civil society.

If they aren’t getting payments because of DOGE, I am sure it is because they should never have been getting them in the first place. The biggest whiners are going to be the scammers who lose their government funded gravy train.

Who sent those false messages? The article doesn’t say. All passive voice. “They were told” and “they received messages”... from whom? Act Blue? Who knows?

This is what people need to know. SSI is not regular SS security like you get as a senior.

It is this: supplemental security income

https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/text-eligibility-ussi.htm

Refugees get SSI. The Biden RAT admin was handing it out like candy to the plain ole illegals that claimed refugee status..

Just maybe over 7 million people worth. Quite possible.

The answer is “why not”? The US MSM are propaganda and activist outfits for democrats and The Blob.

Anything to scare old people off from Trump is high on their list.

None of this surprises me in the least.

The Biden admin was also putting gobs of people on SSD that weren’t eligible during covid. I remember hearing about that back then.

“false warning being issued to millions of beneficiaries.”

A. It was a false warning.
B. I’m struggling to see how a false warning could proceed from an automated system without human intervention. Who intervened and why?

I certainly hope all those dead folks that are still receiving SS checks don’t lose them.
